When you're bottling, fill a a sanitized plastic soda bottle to the top while you have it squeezed tightly (dented with opposite sides touching). Cap it and store it with your other beer. Over the following week you'll notice it expand to where it gets good and hard to squeeze.

It almost always works. In fact, with the FG being 1.020, it may work a little too well. How long was it at that reading?
Well, if you didn't take a couple of readings over several days, it might be just fine. Or, after a couple of days, it might have fermented a few more points. Hard to say.
If the bottles don't explode, they're probably fine. I'd check them in a week or so. Chill one for 24 hours and see how it is.
