Starch also helps stabilize the fabric so it doesn't stretch out of shape so bad while your working with it.
I am a much happier quilter now that I have found my "close enough" level. I was taught by a perfectionist, and had a couple of projects that landed in the trash can, until I realized I don't care if every single seam matches exactly. So, embrace your mistakes as a learning experience and move on.

Hello and a warm welcome from southeastern West Virginia. Don't give up....it's like riding a bicycle...you never forget how but you do get rusty. My advice would be take a refresher class or find a quilting group (local guild, church group..etc) and just begin again. After a short while everything will come back to you. Good luck...glad you're here.

Remember there are no quilt police. As long as you enjoy the process of quilt making your quilts will be a sucess.
I machine piece but do the quilting by hand and enjoy every stitch.
Keep quilting!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :) :)
