Yes - agree 100% - Sometimes fabric gets so limp - but with sizing, it adds a crispness and it seems cutting works out better too. Starch?? Nope - never liked the mess it makes.--------
You both are correct. In my message I should have specified Magic Sizing is used to crisp up fabric that has been washed. Using starch, either spray or liquid, often leaves white flakie things on the fabric. Thanks for setting me straight.
