I have been told that on piecing, I should starch to keep from stretching.

Since no one has picked up on this I'll give you my take on it. I think sizing gives body to the fabric, but not stiffness. Starch gives a little crispness to the fabric. If you want the fabric stiffer, let the fabric dry after an application and spray again. Continue until the fabric has the desired stiffness. OK, you experts. Help me out here. Am I close? :oops:
