I never starch and my quilts work out fine. I don't even press fabric let alone starch.
A good friend, and fabulous quilter, starches before cutting, while piecing, and the finally the completed block.

If it's really wrinkly and I'm trying to iron it then yes or if I'm doing triangles or cutting on the stretchy part of the grain then I starch it alot. I spray it then let it settle into the fabric for a few seconds so that when I iron it I dont get the white residue on the fabric.
