My thoughts exactly. The stabilizer will remain where the starch will wash out. You could end up with part of the quilt coming apart much quicker than the rest. If it's super flimsy, I would consider using a medium grade fabric stabilizer. Take a piece to a Hancock's or Joann's and let the sales clerks help you with your choice.
