Default Preparing fabric for Quilting: a few questions

I used to be a no wash person but recently decided that I wanted to prewash and starch my fabric. I have a couple of questions ( and they may sound really stupid but here goes)
1. Everything I read said that I should prewash and then dry just to dampness because the dryer will creat wrinkles that are hard to press out. Can I just hang dry and then iron later? Will it be just as hard to get the wrinkles out?

2. When do I add the starch? To the water when it is washing? Do I spray it on later? I remember taking a basic skills class a while ago and really liked the stiff feel of the fabric and my seams were much closer to 1/4 inch.



Thanks in advance for everyones help!
