Helps hold things flat, makes measuring more accurate, and if you want to stop stretch when working with bias edges, I use spray sizing instead. (Kind of 'glues' the threads together). Both wash out, so you can use lots, and if you get flakes, clean your iron sole plate, and wash the quilt when you finish.
