There is a starch you can make that contains vodaka that is suppose to work really well, I wish I could find it.

I was a bit embarrassed by my backs, but they look good now that I have started starching. It is a big difference, I was surprised.

I want to try turning the head 90'. Do you only do it when quilting or for general sewing?

Just when quilting...I would have never thought of this idea on my own!
