Default When to starch ?

I know that a lot of quilters use starch and that it helps to get accurate blocks, but I am never sure when to apply starch. For example, if I have a big piece of yardage, I may cut a yard or half yard piece at a time for my strips. Do I starch that yard or half yard piece? What about when using fat quarters, or jelly rolls or charm squares? If I sew jelly roll strips together, and nothing has been previously starched do I apply starch?
When my block has been put together and the pieces were starched, do I starch again?
This is probably elementary to many, but not to me.
I would very much appreciate thoughts on this.
Thanks
