I always starch when paper piecing. It really helps with the finger pressing after each piece is sewn on.

I don't generally starch but do use majic spray periodically.

Does anyone have a solution for ridding a house of silver fish...never had them before; now they are just about everywhere..I've tried several things, but they don't seem to mind the sprays. I really need help on these little pests.

wow...and the bugs don't eat your fabric....I was taught NOT to starch as it can throw your grain off! I do use sizing if I feel it is needed, and even that is diluted!

I like to use the liquid starch. It is still available in the detergent aisle. Ask the store manager. They usually only have a few bottles and they are usually on the bottom shelf :lol:

The only place I can get the liquid concetrate is at Walmart. So every few months I stop and pick it up. It is so much cheaper to use the concentrate than the spray. Plus I can make it stronger than spray if I need to. I do keep a can on hand just in case I need a quick blast.

We learned in Guild that starch has properties which attract bugs that can get into the quilts. The recommendation was to use sizing. It has nothing in it that will attract bugs or anything else.

Try moth balls in the attic.

Hey Nancy, If you want I would be willing to send you some starch if you are having trouble finding it. I personally do not use starch (I have allergies to alot of things) but if you are accustom to using it then you NEED it. Let me know. Sandi

I have 2 cans of Magic Sizing Fabric finish Light Body says it makes ironing easier. Light body without Stiffness. Is that what I should use or did I buy the wrong thing?
