Who else has a love/hate relationship with their can of spray starch?
I love using starch when making my blocks. It straightens things out, makes the fabric stiff as a board and when I square them up, they have crisp, clean, sharp-as-a-knife edges...but I hate spraying the starch. What's with those cans of spray starch anyway? They never work right. The starch will come blasting out in the beginning, but quickly ends up just dribbling on the fabric in slow motion. I've tried taking the nozzles off and washing them out, using a pin to open up the hole, lined them up with the red dot, shake, shake shaken the cans...nothing keeps those cans spraying smoothly. I'd go buy liquid starch and put it into a hand sprayer, but they don't carry it around here and, DARN, I want to win this battle with the aerosols!

Funny, I thought it was just me. The can I currently have is really giving me a hard time. If I hold it upright, it comes out in a stream, not a mist. I have to hold the can upside down and spray for it to come out right. I look like a contortionist trying to starch my fabric! LOL
