I also grew up making my own clothes and pressing every seam. I just finished a quilt and starched and pressed the fabric before cutting and starched and pressed every seam as it was sewn. My corners were so easy to match and by the time the top was finished it was all starched and pressed. It was so easy to LAQ yesterday that all my quilts will be starched and pressed like this.
