Recently I seen an article on the internet about a lady made a mistake and used Nigaria firm spray starch. She realized it after she had spray her table runner with it. It worked!!! You must iron it after you spray it on both sides. It does stick together! I bought a 14 oz. can for $ 1.99, so much cheaper than the 505 spray. I really don't know how it would work on a large piece though, but I'm happy with the results on a small wall hanging, table runner or even placemats. By the way, it sews beautifully through the machine!!! and washes right out!
