I wanna say I joined this board 3 or 4 years ago...in that neighborhood. One of the first threads I read about was starch. Prism has answered the exact same way to every starch thread I've seen here. I know, because it's still printed out and stuck to the said of my laundry room.

I followed Prisms directions exactly. I LOVE how stiff my fabric comes out. I use a 1:1 solution and I use Sta-Flo as it's the only liquid starch available in my area. I find it's one of those must haves right up there with a sewing machine and rotary cutter. My cutting is more accurate, my piecing is accurate. I started using it because I was worried about my bias edges stretching cause I was a new quilter then. I use it the same way on every piece of fabric I buy. I never know when starting a project which ones I'm going to be using for triangles so I starch it all.

These are excellent directions.
