I feel that if the fabric is too flimsy to be used without starch, forget it!

Exception: When I was fussy-cutting kite shapes for a kaleidoscope type block.
That is why I started letting the starch thoroughly dry first, when any fabric is damp it can stretch/distort.

I don't use it because of flimsy material, I use it because I like the way the material handles when it is really crisp. :D:D:D
I missed the "let it dry first" step.

I ironed/pressed when it was sopping wet.
