A "light load" might involve less water, and time, than it takes to completely dissolve the glue? I have no marks, using straight school glue, that I iron dry, even on light, medium, or dark fabrics using a regular warm load setting and a little detergent. Toss into regular setting on dryer, no marks.

That was my guess, too. The new washers have a very low water level. But really, how does anyone know if the glue is completely washing out, other than that it's not feeling stiff? Couldn't some of it be migrating into the batting? I've always wondered a similar thing about wash-away stabilizers left inside.

My new front loader .. I have to rinse my clothes twice now to get the soap out, so I would suspect the light load is the the problem here. Wash and rinse a couple times. Hopefully that will clear it up!

I just saw this in an article that says she uses glue to do seams, then washes quilt with synthrapol: http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2014/...ct-points.html
