I have really enjoyed this topic, reading all of the comments and advice. I am a real newbie - I swore that quilting was one of the things I would never do - and here I am all wrapped up in it! I did have a question - what kind of starch are you all using? I went to Hancock's and looked for a product called Best Press, and I guess it goes out the door about as quickly as it comes in. So my next step is to go to the grocery store and try to find something until the Best Press product is back on the shelves. I saw "Magic Sizing" in Target - would that work for starch? Or do you folks have something you like better? Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
