Default To starch or not to startch.....

I am really interested to know how many of you ladies and gents out there starch your fabric first....
Until today I have never used starch but I am making a large quilt with half square triangle that appeared to have a life of their own and then I remembered that some people use startch to stabilise their fabric.......wow it appears to make life so much easier....

But can I please ask you some questions...

1. If you use starch do you use it on all projects?
2. I starched the fabric before I cut it.....is that correct?
3. Will it have any effect on my machine if I use it a lot?
4. Should I wash it out of the quilt before I sandwich it....or when sandwiched or simply leave it in?

I am using a spray on startch......any advice re the use of it would be gratefully received
Many thanks
