Thank you

hey, lady diana, i personally do not use starch but should own stock in the magic sizing company. it is 98 cents at wm. usually buy 5-6 cans at a time. i spray, pat into fabric, cover with pressing cloth (scrap of unbleached muslin) and press. trust me, i have tried it all and this is the method i teach. it is especially effective when working with machine applique. when i was learning to sew on items that were to be stored...such as quilts, table coths, etc....mom said no starch...made from corn and bugs love
love,love it. it is just one of those things that has stuck with me. it may not even be relavent today but old habits are hard to break.
