This has happened to me. I think I over ironed the starch--but it washed out so no problems. I was told ages ago, that you never starch and store because the starch is basically a sugar base and can attract "unwanted guests". I wash and dry when I get the fabric, fold and store, then starch just before I use.
Hope this helps....good luck with your fabric.

but, I'd rather know, before I starched and stored...oh? maybe 300+ yards :shock: ...I'm guessing.
It's probably more like 400 :lol:
