I did a Lone Star backing using starch. I used Sta-Flo 1 part starch to 1 part water. I put the backing fabric in a plastic tub & poured the starch/water mixture on the fabric, rolling it over as I went. I used enough to get the fabric nice & wet. I let it set for about an hour & then squeezed out any excess & tossed it in the dryer. I took it out while slightly damp & ironed it. I pinned my quilt, using a good 600 2 inch safety pins. On my machine I found using the "Duel feed" & a D foot worked better than a walking foot. I also did machine embroidery on the quilt & thru it all there was not one pucker. Starching the backing really made a big difference. I also spray starched my top as I went, so all the fabric was nice & stiff, which gives you a lot less streching thru the quilting process.
