I'm doing a blog that some are using it. In her directions she is washing each block. If I were using it I would wait and wash the whole top I think. I'm chain piecing without stabilizer so don't have personal experience.

I agree with CoyoteQuilts -- I tear away as much as I can then put the quilt together and wash when it is finished. In fact, I usually wash it twice since I have a front loader. I too have found that spraying it with water makes a mess.

For a quilt; I'd only remove the extra and then wait until after the quilt is done to wash it. Or if you are dealing with blocks then you could soak them after each one before the backing and batting. Either way would work. Just take off the extra.
