Starch

i use spray starch and prewash my fabrics, starch and iron before storing. Starch again when necessary.
Starch blocks and press before squareing up. Spray starch again once quilt is complete before loading on frame.

I have always starched fabrics as I use them. I have only tried the spray starch & it works good but think I'm going to try the liquid starch also. I know just the spray starch has greatly improved my piecing. It is just a personal preference whether to starch or not. If anyone is having problems though I would suggest just trying it. Takes a little more time but well worth it.

Spray starch (even the heaviest kind) is still much lighter than what you can get by mixing Sta-Flo and water yourself. Sizing is lighter than the heaviest kind of spray starch I have found.
I don't think there is necessarily a "better"; it's a matter of personal preference, location, and need.
