Most of us wash the quilt when its done, so don't have a problem. Washes out the Elmer's Glue if you've used it, too

Has anyone everheard that leaving starch in cotton items will result in fiber breakdown (rot) after time passes? My grandmother always said to never leave starch in doilies, especially, when storing them.

Is the vodka for the fabric or the seamstress??

I use a recipe that you boil the water and then whisk in powdered corn starch. It works well but even with a tsp. of vodka in it, it goes stale after about 2 weeks. I have purchased the Bounce ironing spray at Walmart and I am going to see if it compares to the homemade stuff.

Hahahah to funny! I'd vote for the seamstress though ;)

I don't like starch very much. When I have used it I make sure I store my projects with Bay leaves to keep out the little 'pesties' that the starch attract and store the projects in very large plastic zip bags.
