I also came from a background of sewing clothing, but I love starch for some cuts. I pre wash everything, and if I am going to do a pattern with lots of bias cuts, I starch. I mix StaFlo half and half with water. I spray the yardage with water first to dampen a bit, then spray with the starch mixture. Wait a bit to let the starch penetrate, then because it's still uncut, iron.
As everything in quilting, it's all personal preference. I would suggest trying it if you like it, continue. If not, give the unused starch away!
