I heard that tip somewhere and that the starch was supposed to help the fabric slide through your machine easier.<br /><br />I pin my quilt backing to the carpet with straight pins... I've found it holds the fabric stronger than tape.<br /><br />I use the curved quilting pins to hold it all together.<br /><br />Do you have an even-feed or walking foot for your machine? It helps to pull the quilt top and backing at the same rate.<br /><br />To answer Jody's question: <br />Yes, I hand sew my binding onto the back. I tried doing it with machine one time and I really didn't like the results. I didn't like the way that I couldn't see where the stitches were going on the back (like if they happened to land on the binding itself or the quilt backing). Maybe I'm just being picky, but I would want all of the stitches to be at an even distance away from the binding and look even all the way around. ...ok, so I am being a picky... I guess it just works best for me to sew it on by hand and that way it looks the same all around. :) <br /><br />Hope that helps!<br />JessicaTwinfibershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722774486659906381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743105738457828832.post-11649789978345238622010-08-11T17:29:16.687-04:002010-08-11T17:29:16.687-04:00Jessica,
