Converted to Liquid Starch
Prewashed a pile of batiks and soaked in 2 cups Linit liquid starch ($3.79) in a plastic bag. Something like the way Anita Grossman Soloman does it. Let the fabric dry a bit ( on a plastic tablecloth) and then ironed dry. Skirt hangers were a great help. My blocks are more precise & if you have to rip a seam, the fabric does not get distorted. Try it!
