JoAnn's sells a product like that but it is not starch, I think it is called quilting spray. Not very expensive.

You can buy the Niagra starch in a spray bottle now. It works well and 1.97 a bottle at wal mart

I also use the StaFlo brand. I started using it on items that I'm going to machine embroider, especially on denim. It really makes it much easier. No stretching or puckering.

Thank you all for the info. I didn't even know that starch makes a big of a difference. I guess i will give it a try this week.

My questions is if i buy from any grocery store, do i buy light or heavy starch?

Thanks

I've been sewing for over 40 years and quilting for about 10. I never starched until recently. Wow, what a difference (for the better). I am a convert now, and loving it.

have you thought about sizing instead of starch or using a watered down liquid starch..
reason, starch attracts bugs...if you starch and then leave your fabric in bins, shelves, bags etc, you are inviting creepers to eat it....

I been to 3 different Walmart looking for StaFlo and was unable to find it. just went to the Walmart.com and was it was unavailble. I got a feeling that Walmart will not be carrying this item any more.

we have not had staflo around here for years...miss those good ole country grocers that used to carry those basic items...
