I bought some spray stuff at my LQS, you use instead of regular starch, I forgot the name of it, but has anyone else used it? its kind of pricey, but I thought I would try it. Regular starch leaves such a bad residue on the fabric so I thought I would try this stuff. I think its new.

A Steady Betty is a special ironing surface - it "grips " the fabric to hold it while you press it. Available in 12"x12"
They also sell grippers to put under your foot pedal. Google "what is a steady betty" to get to the website.

dh installed a couple kitchen cabinets w/a countertop in my studio... i toss an old towel on that & starch away...if i'm working with a light fabric, i use one of those white towels you can buy to embroider... cause the dark towel sometimes leave lint on my fabric... and it irks me...

I myself think it is easier to accurately cut fabric that has been starched really well. However I am sure there are quilters out there who cute more accurately than myself without any starch at all.
I'll stick to starching my fabric!
