Non-Aerosol Spray Starch
#45
I've used the Sta-Flo liquid starch for years, it last a really long time. It's concentrated so you mix it with water to determine the stiffness you like. My teenage children don't believe in ironing since they discovered Wrinkle Release. I can't remember to cost because but I know it's not expensive. I made a lot of the denim and flannel rag quilts. This is excellent for ironing jeans.

I cannot seem to control where my starch lands when I use spray starch; I am sick & tired of "starching" my floor & furniture. My latest experiment was to mix Sta-Flo liquid starch & water (as per usage instructions on starch bottle) in a small plastic tub and soak my fabric thoroughly in it, hang it on the outside clothesline, and then iron it when it's dry. There are washer/dryer use instructions on the bottle as well, but I don't want the starch in my expensive appliances either. It's probably harmless to my washer/dryer but I don't need to find out for sure.

All I use is stay flo and I have no problem with bugs or my appliances. One of my girlfriends just got those new high efficiency washer and dryers that are real snazzy and you can only use a certain type of detergent on them. She throws starched pieces in them all the time.
I mix mine 50% and spray the dickens out of my fabric, toss it in the dryer and press it. I put starch on almost every piece of fabric as I use it. Sizing isn't stiff enough for me and my corners match and my triangle points are better. I think it helps a lot with my cutting and piecing accuracy.
