Yes, I am hoping that I can use it up with the binding, maybe I'll put some in the backing as well then I can just use it up and not worry about having to wash and store it. I've never starched a whole length of fabric before. I don't know what I was thinking.

Do it all the time. will work out great

I do it it both ways and never noticed a difference. I like using long pieces, less sewing pieces together.
