ohhhhhhh!!! it is really magical. starch starch starch is my new favorite word. Thank You so much everyone for suggesting it in the different posts on here. I just made a purse where I saturated the fabric with starch and it sewed up beautifully and cut wonderfully. and when I went to iron a fold it took it like a champ. The purse is going to be a birthday gift for my dd's friend. she is really into accesories.
I can't wait to try it with the quilts I am getting ready to make. I am about ready to start them but am looking at folding two more loads of laundry, one for my kids that in real life would be like 4 loads of normal cloths. ehhhh.
