Another example of our American English not making logical sense. The glue is washable, meaning that it will wash out when the quilt is washed. We should correctly say that it is dissolveable in water and will wash away.

No. Most of the starch we use is made from corn (or potatoes, or rice). Starch is biodegradable and dissolves in water. Safe for septic systems.

CoyoteMagic explains how she does it on page 6 of this thread. Here is a link to that page:

If I am remembering correctly, CoyoteMagic uses fine lines of glue. Someone else has posted about diluting the glue and spraying it on, but there are not many details about that method. It could be worth a try. My concern would be that the spray nozzle would clog quickly, but perhaps it does not.
