Starching the fabric makes it stiff. So if you don't, it will probably be floppy and ugly. That's just my guess. Starching is not difficult or expensive and can be bought in most stores like Wal Mart.
and potato starch is commonly used in Europe to starch clothes.. rice starch is used in Asia, becouse of a lot of rice xD

from my chemists point of view, it doesnt matter, which starch it is, but popcorn starch can make white textile into white-yellow . try to experiment and see All ou have to do is boil it and then wait till it cools then try put into it wet textil or dry.. it can behave differently Good luck or wait for another better reply ^^
