I went out and purchased a bottle of starch to make my own mixture. Well, now I have been reading that some quilters say that the starch can draw silver fish, and may damage the fabric. Also mentioned is the fabric fading/color lightening??? I read this mornings article, which states if I planned to sew or wash the quilt, that this might help. I don't plan to wash it afterwards, as it will be to large.
I am making a large quilt queen/king. I tie all my quilts. Should I take the chance with the starch or use sizing???
What are the pros and cons?
