Somebody posted the other day about the Niagara Spray Starch they had gotten & how well they liked it. Bought 2 bottles yesterday at Walmart for $1.88 a bottle. I am going to give it a try this afternoon. I will let you know what I think. Hope it last because if DS finds it he will use it all up on his jeans.

Niagara does not flake much at all. I use the non aerosol scented Niagara. I have Faultless non aerosol, and the StaFlo concentrate to make my own and of course several scents of Mary Ellen's Best Press. I find I use the Niagara the most.

I have read somewhere if you starch the back side of the material the flakes won't show and the piece is nicely starch. You can make your own starch by using cornstarch. Just corn starch and water. Using that for applique i am doing. Then wash out as it becomes food for insects.

I use it all the time. Have never had a problem.

Insects love starch as well, which is why some people use sizing instead. Regardless, wash when you are finished.

The only insect that I have seen in my sewing room is an occasional fly. What kind of insects do you mean????

Starched fabric can attract a bug called silver fish and other moths I believe. It's especially true if you were to starch your fabric then store it. Starch can also yellow your fabric overtime. It's a great product to use when quilting though, go right ahead, but just wash your quilt when you are done.
I always buy Niagra starch just because I always buy my products like that at Walmart, and that is what they carry. I have never had any problems with it, and works great.
