Question from a newbie
#8
I prefer to starch before I cut :D:D:D Dry and then iron the yardage.
I will occasionally starch during piecing, but anytime you dampen the fabric you run the risk of stretching/distortion. Sometimes this will work in your favor while piecing, but it will usually go back to the original shape once it is laundered :wink:

Anytime I have to prewash fabric (this removes the sizing) I wash, dry and iron with Magic Sizing (comes in a blue can with a blue lid. About a $1.00 at WalMart). If I'm doing fabric that has a bias edge (stretchy edge) I use starch. Sometimes I spray it twice. It adds stability where there is little. Welcome from Ohio.
