    Default Starch convert
    I am now a convert to using starch when piecing! I always meant to try it, but for some reason never got around to it. I read how others liked it, so I tried it with my last quarter-square-triangle blocks. I figured the starch would help. Boy!! What a help! Thanks to all here who guided me to try the starch........I am a believer now!!!..........:').........

    It's a great help. I am so glad I was led towards it from here as well.

    I starch my fabric paper stiff before cutting. I starch and press my quilt top before squaring or adding borders.
