When I first read about your starch can it was an older post so I didn't understand that you used the lid for the scallops. I thought you used starch to attach the applique pieces and thought... that's a great idea! Starch it really good so that it sticks to the background and then sew around it. When washed it would come loose in the middle and it would be like needle turn or something.

Sometimes I love it TOO much and end up cleaning my iron. lol
Now, when I spray it heavily, I let it dry completely, then iron it.

No K I never wash anything. That is the way it came from the store. I'm too lazy to go to the trouble of washing it!!! :lol:

Oh, sorry Rhonda, I assumed you had because it was so soft! Probably from being squished in a box and sent across the Atlantic then! Anyways, the starch works a treat! Sorry to accuse you of being a good housewife (horrors!! - we're QUILTERS right?! LOL)
