I always dry iron while piecing my blocks, then spritz the finished blocks and finished tops with water from a spray bottle then press again. I don't put water in my irons if I can avoid it. Drives my hubby batty! (He presses his own clothes)
Never used starch, but considering trying it on my next finished top before loading it into my frame.

Been using steam but after reading all your comments I may go back to dry and a spray bottle . I bought a Niagara Non-aerosol spray starch and do not like it as it leaves lots of 'stuff' on my cloth. Thanks for all the neat info you gals post.

the starch I like better than water.
