Everyone knows the frustration of working with fabric that is too flexible. Suddenly your blocks are crooked and the binding is totally off and your quilt is not what you wanted it to be! It's time to take back control of your quilted projects. Stiffen up that fabric for precise quilting when you use Quilter's Starch Savvy! This formula from June Tailor helps stiffen up that fabric for neater cutting, pressing, and quilting each time.

The useful Quilter's Starch Savvy helps quilters in a variety of scenarios. If you prewash your fabric, the result can be some floppy cotton! Let Starch Savvy put the stiffness back in that fabric. When you are cutting triangles for making quilt blocks and you need two fabric swatches to hold firmly together, Starch Savvy works almost like glue; line up your fabric swatches, spray Starch Savvy, and iron. When you lift the fabric, the two swatches hold together which will ease your cutting and sewing experience.

Speaking of ironing, the process of using Starch Savvy is seriously simple. Just spray the starch on your fabric, wait a few seconds (just seconds!) for the starch to sink in and absorb into the fabric, and begin pressing. When you've finished ironing, the starch will have stiffened and you can proceed with the next step in your quilting process, be that cutting, sewing, binding, or quilting.

To recap: Quilter's Starch Savvy uses a fragrance free formula and it will not flake. It stiffens fabric to avoid distortion and eases movement when machine sewing. It is an absolute staple supply that every quilter should have in their stash.

Next time you struggle with the disappointment of imperfect seams, bunched up fabric, and jagged cutting, give Quilter's Starch Savvy a try. Starch will certainly save you some heartache!
