apylinski Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Can someone explain to me what Steam and Starch is, how you do it and what is it for? I keep seeing this mentioned in postings but not sure what it is?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Ann, It is a method of dealing with quilts that need a little extra help with excess fabric. Bonnie who used to be a regular on the forum made a CD of her method of starching the offending area when the quilt was on the frame and then using a steam iron to try to shrink the area into shape. It works quite well usually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiltGuy Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sue, How would one find this CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sue, How would one find this CD? Bonnie used to be an APQS dealer in New York if I remember correctly. I checked for her contact info but couldn't find it listed. Again if I my memory is correct her last name is Botts and I believe that she has a Facebook page. I don't use Facebook but if you do give that a try. It is several years since she produced the CD so I don't know if she would still have them available. Perhaps someone is still in contact with her and will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yes, her name is Bonnie Botts. She lives over in Elizaville, NY, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apylinski Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I did a search on FB but couldn't find her. If anyone finds out please let me know. So do you spray with starch then actually steam iron it or hold it above it? Sorry for this being such a dumb question but I have seen it mentioned and really want to know how it's done and the benefits of it. Thanks Sue for enlightening me!

RitaR Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Didn't I just see her post something on this forum yesterday or today? No time now to check back and see if I can find it. Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apylinski Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I did find Bonnie on the list of dealers I'm OK. She moved about two weeks ago. She still has the CD's as soon as she can find them in the right box she is going to get one out to me. Thanks for the help! This Forum is amazing.
