JoAnn's sells a product like that but it is not starch, I think it is called quilting spray. Not very expensive.

You can buy the Niagra starch in a spray bottle now. It works well and 1.97 a bottle at wal mart
|
I also use the StaFlo brand. I started using it on items that I'm going to machine embroider, especially on denim. It really makes it much easier. No stretching or puckering.

Thank you all for the info. I didn't even know that starch makes a big of a difference. I guess i will give it a try this week.
My questions is if i buy from any grocery store, do i buy light or heavy starch? Thanks |
I've been sewing for over 40 years and quilting for about 10. I never starched until recently. Wow, what a difference (for the better). I am a convert now, and loving it.

have you thought about sizing instead of starch or using a watered down liquid starch..
reason, starch attracts bugs...if you starch and then leave your fabric in bins, shelves, bags etc, you are inviting creepers to eat it.... |
I been to 3 different Walmart looking for StaFlo and was unable to find it. just went to the Walmart.com and was it was unavailble. I got a feeling that Walmart will not be carrying this item any more.
|
we have not had staflo around here for years...miss those good ole country grocers that used to carry those basic items...
