I like the sound of this, Doyou get starch buildup in your dryer?
I used to starch a great deal when I first started quilting. Then I read that bugs are attracted to starch (as food) and will be attracted to your quilt. I've lighted up on the starch since. Having the whole peice starched as leatheflea suggests sounds like an easy way to get it deep in the fibers and not flake on the top.
