washing fabric and starching
#1
I started moving fabric today and realized a lot of my recent purchases haven't been washed yet. I have a full load going all in one color family!! I am thinking about adding some liquid starch at the end and then spending the rest of the afternoon watching movies while I press all the fabric.....
Have any of you used liquid starch this way? How did it turn out for you?

I wouldn't starch fabric I was just going to put in the stash. Starch is bug food. Especially the liquid starches.
I wouldn't wash and iron fabric I was just going to put in my stash. Fabric has a finish that helps keep the sun from fading it as bad.
When I prewashed I did it right before I started cutting so it was freshly ironed and starched when I started cutting.

Thanks scissor queen. This fabric won't be in my stash long...It will go into my next quilt.
The liquid starch did a good job...most of the fabric just needed a touch up along the selvages. I hate the mess with spray starch....
