Quilt in a Day Forums

I'm new at quilting and I'm making my first block quilt. How do you keep it that your seams line up an match when you are putting together you quilt. I press all of the time, but I remember reading or seeing somewhere about startching your pieces. Any truth to that?

I use the best press to press my quilt blocks sometimes I just use steam. They sell best press at Quilt In A Day you can just put best press in the search box at the top of this page.
It's really a mild spray starch and smells good too. Bev

I sometimes spray starch to give the piece stability. Keeps from getting wonky.

Best Press is wonderful - yes it does work to starch your pieces are you sew - but more important is not to stretch them as you press them open - use a up and down motion to press - not like you are trying to get rid of stubborn wrinkles - it doesn't take much to stretch them out of shape.
