Ya know I dont think I've ever used starch a single day in my life really....I guess it just seems like added work for me so I dont bother...I'm not one for ironing either really LOL

No, I will never starch anything. I have sensitive skin and I can never stand having pillowcases, bedsheets or clothes starched because I will get the shudders all the time and I won't be able to move! Since young, I hated it when my mom changes my pillowcases, sheets and certain clothes. I think only people who experience the same feeling as myself will understand. Starched things feel so prickly and rough against my skin so much so that I try to move as little as possible so that it doesn't get to rub my skin, lol.

I have cotton pillowcases and although they need caring for I have never really though of starching them,but I can see what you mean ,but the only thing that I would think about is that the starch may make the pillowcases hard to the touch and therefore hard to the skin,but maybe im thinking totally wrongly here,but they must look crisp and nice.
