I've not used my oven more than half a dozen times all summer but I've been dying for a real oven baked pot roast. The crock pot ones just aren't the same. :-) <br><br>That strip twist is high up on my wanna do list. Finn did a great job with that one. <br><br>I've never worked with flannel but I do use spray starch all the time when working with a lot of bias edges. It helps keep them from stretching out of shape when you have to handle them a lot.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00010636254992076683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-88506761966262195532006-10-21T12:17:00.000-05:002006-10-21T12:17:00.000-05:00Yah Cardinals!!

I ...I love using starch to keep my fabrics stable. I buy liquid starch concentrate and make my own mix in a spray bottle. When I am quilting, the ironing board is placed in front of the front door. I have been horrified when I catch it at the right angle and see all of the dried starch droplets *s*Libbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05821986273481618728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-59830743812750092592006-10-20T16:58:00.000-05:002006-10-20T16:58:00.000-05:00Hey Linda, I'll swap ya a loaf of homemade sou...Hey Linda, I'll swap ya a loaf of homemade sourdough oatmeal bread for part of your stew for dinner!!!
