It works for me too... One good product to try is that better spray,,, Dang can't remember the name of it , but it doesn't get residue on your iron. Another tip I saw on one of the quilting shows is to let the starch or sizing dry into the fabric and it won't get the residue on the sole plate. Tried it and it worked. Have a great day every one.

Thanks for the caution about the Starch! Have plenty of bugs here without encouraging them. LOL....I'm sure that warming your fabric with iron before spaying on the sizing will work equally as well! :)

My grandmother use to sugar starch her dollies and lay them with edges placed over glasses to dry they made beautiful large ruffles.

These comments do bring back memories. Argo,sugar starch. have anyone heard of flour starch? It was used when we did not have Argo. Yes Monday was wash day, Tuesday Iron. Our were put in the ice box after they were sprinkle and wrap in plastic. If dad had "cat face"(wrinkle) we had to resprinkle and re iron. Was those the "good old days?

Yes, this was a walk down memory lane. I still like to iron. I mixed up the cornstarch sizing yesterday and used it on some quilt squares that I had to cut smaller for a project, worked slick and will use it often. Will have to try it on linen.

The "good old days" when we took pride in our housework and the appearance of our family in public. More thought was given to our family's well being and raising the children to be useful and caring people, just like we cared about our homes, quilts and helping others as we do on this forum.
