Starch, sizing or nothing at all?
#1
I was thinking of making a small wallhanging. Would it be advisable to spray my fabric to stiffen it up? I don't plan on having to wash it. What if I decide to put it away. If I leave spray in it will it eventually become a feast to moths?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I starch all of my fabric after I wash it so I wouldn't be much help. I personally would starch because I find it easier to accurately piece then. After it was finished, I would wash it one time then iron without starch.

I starch all of my fabrics for piecing, it helps keep the fabric from stretching. Bias pieces I use even more starch. You can always wash it after you make it and then it shouldn't be a problem.
