Ugh... I don't like starch at all. Turns fabric into cardboard. Last Boom, someone starched and pressed my block so heavily, the black fabric was all shiny over the seams! Don't remember who it was, just a good reminder to be careful with that starch and iron.

I attended a seminar on making precision blocks and the presenter insisted the best thing to do was starch and press your fabric 3 x’s Before you make the first cut. After that she said she didn’t use the starch. Someone in a few booms must have used the liquid starch you soak the fabric in. Loved her blocks they were so crisp

Hello, my name is Kassaundra and I am a sizing addict. lol lol lol I use a lot of spray sizing (like starch but different) Really helps w/ fussy cutting and stripe matching, it washes out so all it good after the first laundering.

You know in the old days you had lab work and you impatiently waited for the doctors office to call with the results. Now you have labs and your results are posted online at my chart before you even get home. Great if all is well but if results aren’T in the normal range you can quickly google the test and totally freak out reading what could be the problem. Then totally stress out waiting for doc to call. No more googling tonight !!!!!!!!

GramE I have a theory if I worry about something then it doesn’t amount to beans. So I know worrying doesn’t help and I shouldn’t do it but unfortunately it’s very hard to let go. Sure the good Lord say’s oh my Terri has herself all worked up again over nothing.
