Makes it very easy to see my design for quilting especially when there are several colors that are hard to see when using marking tools. I have tried using the scraps desolved in water as a spray starch but the smell was awful and I dumped it. I know others have not had this problem but I did and the solution had not been sitting around so that was not the reason.
