hopefully you didn't go overboard on the starch- i've had a hundred or more quilts come to me through the mail- never had one starched first- simply pressed neatly, threads clipped and folded- placed in a plastic bag to protect it from possible (mail mishandling-or inclimate weather)
I starch when I piece, and I don't wash it out, so it's starched. I always starch the back, just a habit from when I quilt them on my domestic machine.
