Yes, I Use Starch


I don't listen to the Quilt Police...

I don't read the pattern all the way through before I start...
   why waste time?

I don't measure twice before cutting...just go ahead and do it.

I do use steam in my iron...and my seams lay flatter.

AND...
   (note the use of large letter for dramatics)

I do use STARCH...

   on all my fabrics, spraying my fabric before it's even cut to a nice
   cardboard consistency...

   and then spraying again once the block is put together so it lays nicely
   and the seams play well together...

   and I have a nice quilt top that always lays flat for quilting.

PS: Starch also makes it easier if you have to reverse sew...your blocks just pull apart in the same shape...did you know that?
