because I do not make wall hangings only, I prewash all my fabrics using quilt wash (ORVUS) soap and tumble dry medium. When I go to use the fabric, I sink-soak it w/ starch/water (25-40% starch) and spin it out before drying to damp stage. I now have crisp fabrics which take a press well. The starch can be "reactivated" with water spritz. No overspray in my sewing area, and fabrics are stabilized when needed. All this gives me the ability to do accurate cutting/sewing/quilting.
