Do You Ever Starch/Best Press Jelly Roll Strips or Charm Square? Will it mishape them
I have a few jelly rolls I would like to use but the fabric is very flimsy and has been handled quite a bit as the edges are very worn and frayed (they are Moda and I purchased them on line). They need to have a bit more "structure" before I start working with them so I thought about misting them with Best Press then very gently pressing (no moving the iron on the fabric--just press and lift). Will this shrink them too much to still be 2.5 inches? Do people normally do this and I just don't know??

I don't use jelly rolls, but I do starch everything (heavily) before I sew it.
Personal preference.

MTS, thank you, that link was very interesting and informative.
Sunnye, I have not been sewing very long and am completely self taught. I use Best Press and was always wondering if you are suppose to let the fabric dry before pressing or press while still damp. I've been pressing while still damp about 1 to 3 minutes after misting.
