I've read all the comments about starching and I want to try it but how do you keep it from stretching out of shape?

Thanks ladies, I sure learned a lot on starching. I never thought of starching before cutting.

Yes, thank you for all your great information.

Hi Lisa_, I got past the issue of 'flakes' by doing it on the back side, and misting the top with water, so it's a little damp before you use the starch, let it sit for a minute, it seems to help it be absorbed better. I do the same with my clothes.

I finally bought some starch the other day and used it for the first time. I really like using it.
I bought some from Walmart called faultless for about $1.75, I think. When I was at Joanns tonight I thought I would see what brands they had. They had the faultless also, but thier price was $4.29. What a difference. Do any of you use this brand? |
Wow, thanks for the pricing info on Faultless. At my LQS I paid $7.95 for 16 oz. of Mary Ellen's Best Press. IT goes too fast! I also plan to try the Niagra Spray that others have talked about on this board. Linda

I really like Mary Ellen spray starch too! It smells so crisp and good! Makes everything come together so much easier when sewing.

When you talk about the starch flaking, is that when you see fiber glass specks on your fabric?

I find the Faultless and/or Niagra spray cans at the dollar store.
