The problem is I am having difficulty finding the Liquid starch in a good size container in the stores...they just don't stock it in Target, Cub, Walmart, etc., here in Minnesota. Will these recipes make a good stiff starch?

You could buy Linit starch. I got three 64 oz. bottles from Amazon for under $20 with shipping and it works great. You dilute it with water and it lasts a long time too. I'm trying to figure out how I am going to get the other two bottles home because all I need on this deployment is one.

1 1/2 cups of water
1/2 cup of Fabreeze
1 tab spoon corn starch
Mix and pour into a bottle and it works WONDERFUL!!! My squares and blocks smell so good and they are crisp

I posted a questionon forum (not sure where now) about starching fabric pieces and hanging on a clothes dryer (meant to dry clothes inside, portable with several wire rows across) then putting outside to dry when weather permits but could not find a reply. This sounds like my approach will work ok and not distort or stretch fabric. Iron when dry then cut.
