how do you keep the starch from building up on your iron?

Starching before you sandwich was a quilt saver for me...not to master machine quilting.

So I was thinking what if they are all dry and when I get in an ironing mood they are ready.
Does the starch mess up the dryer like spraying does to the floor? Starch has not had any bad effect on my dryer, and I use a very heavy starch solution. For spray basting on the floor, I always recommend putting a large sheet down first to cash any overspray. It also helps to spray from the outside edges towards the center. |
I love the Mary Ellen's, too! The only difference I have noticed is that you don't get the white flakies. Use it on hubs dress slacks.
I would assume that it would help on the larger quilts as well! :) |
