    Starching all your fabric before you cut out helps keep it from stretching. Be careful pressing, that you don't stretch anything.

    I starch my fabric straight out of the washing machine and let my fabric air dry then iron it. :) It definitely helps! :)


    Everyone I would like to thank you for your help!! The pointing out of pressing after each seem was the trick and I managed to save the two flying geese I attempted last night! Thanks again!!
