Great starch for quilting.
Excellent starch for quilting. I was having trouble doing the small cut pieces when making blocks and this has really helped me to make much better seams and line up points better. No smell which is important for me as I get headaches easily with smells. Comes out fairly even and clear on all fabrics I've used so far. Thankful to friends who recommended this product!!!
