What great info, I attempted to do that with applique once & decided because they were SO wavy, maybe that was not my thing, I will have to try again. Those look great!

Great stuff, Bill's, what a difference a bit of starch makes. And the name you couldn't remember is Sharon Schamber - her free tutes are really informative and very helpful. Since seeing some of them, I use Elmer's School glue in lots of situations, though not as much as she does, quite yet! LOL.

Wow...what a difference! I have been using the heavy weight spray starch on all my fabrics for awhile now and it does make a difference. I'm thinking about trying the stuff you mix up and then paint on...have many of you used that and is it better or worse than the spray stuff?
