STARCH??? did you ladies starch your background fabric? I havent used the stuff, wouldnt that help???
I starched my background squares and it helps me. I started off starching all my little pieces and pressing them over my mylar templates. Too time consuming so I'm doing needleturn now without the starch on the little pieces.
