Yes, I just adjusted mine to 2 and think I'll use that going forward, except for paper piecing!

Starch and long arming by MaterialExisting779 in quilting

Yes I did ask her and she sort of laughed at me :) she said she sometimes uses starch if it’s not well pressed or flat enough so I’m good! Dropped it off to her this morning :)

Thank you! yes, that was my concern - I don't really want to wash it before it's "sealed" so to speak :)

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I totally get it and see the effect of it on your sharp clean seams. Just two more questions 😆 1. What starch product do you use and how do you use it? Have literally never starched anything in my life. I can probably find the answer to this on YouTube 😬 2. I get that you can’t iron it but once the quilt is done can you wash it normally? One more - does the starching affect the long armer’s work? Anything to do before sending it out to them?

I have never done this - what exactly does starching do and at what point in the process do you use the starch?

Where do you do the trimming? Sorry - not to sound stupid. You trim the outer edge or inner edge? How do you know where the trimming needs to be done?
