Yes I use ALOT of starch. and if ya want the truth its still not as stiff as I would like. After it is sprayed I fold it up and let it sit for awhile. If I have time I will iron it damp with a dry iron until it is dry. However. I am really impatient so I normally hang the wet fabric over something with a fan on it so it drys faster and then I turn the steam on when I iron!
I myself think it is easier to accurately cut fabric that has been starched really well. However I am sure there are quilters out there who cute more accurately than myself without any starch at all.
I'll stick to starching my fabric!
