I've searched the topics for starch, and lots of folks like to use it for piecing, especially if the pattern has a bias edge.

What's your opinion for starching applique pieces that have lots of bias edges? Is it hard to turn those edges, both convex and concave, if they have been starched? Does the starch help with fraying, or is that even a problem?

I'm new to applique, and am reading all about techniques before I start a project.
