I use Sta Flo , mix half with water and put in a spray bottle, unless I'm starching yardage and then I place in sink and pour starch over yardage and work into the fibers. Have tried lots of brands and this one is the best I have found for the effect I want. NOTE: Starch does dull rotary cutter blades more quickly than without starch, but the accuracy in piecing is well worth a blade or two.
