Thank you. I have trouble with either the starch bothers my finger tips or the smell of the starch activates me to get all plugged up.

Yes, I almost always prewash fabric before sewing.
:P
It is so nice to hear from each of you. That is what I like so much about the board. You have friends at every turn!
