Why do you press the quilt sandwich after basting. I just usually let the quilt laying flat for a few hours to make sure it's dry. Is that where the pressing comes in? Or is the pressing for an other reason?
With the starch you really need to iron it so that the heat from the iron pulls the starch up from the batting into the fabric allowing it to stick together.
