I'm wondering that, too. I've never starched. Not being able to put starched fabric back with the stash for fear of bugs sounds like a pain. But having fabric shift less while cutting would be a bonus. Does it make enough of a difference that it's worth it?

Also, I hand quilt- would it make it so stiff that it would affect hand quilting?
