Some people use hairspray. It's certainly NOT archival, so it depends on your goal for the flower. If it's to enjoy now and for a few years, you can use something like hairspray, but if you want it to be appreciated for decades, don't.
One advantage of hairspray over liquid starch is that it dries fast. There's not a big worry about it leaking through the pricking's pinholes and into the pillow. Just cover the pillow where it's not covered by the pricking--you don't want to get the pillow sticky. Robin P.
