I always spray the starch on the wrong side, let dry, very important step, then iron on right side. I hang my fabric over a drying rack. I have never seen a dirty iron from this process. Mine gets dirty from other stuff. I have yet to find a good iron. Good luck on that one.

Had the issue w/brown on iron also until I read let your fabric sit for 10 mins after spraying. I now do that and no issues. I spray and then roll it up and pat it to make sure soaks in...wait 10 and iron...I too have been researching cordless irons and seems all the reviews above are the same as Top cordless Irons...Panasonic...

I have had the Panasonic cordless iron for about 5 years now. I absolutely love the freedom of No Cord! I have no problems with it. I will never go back to an iron with a cord. Most of my ironing now is done for my quilting and sewing, and I have no complaints. My cordless iron is one of my best investments.

I have the panasonic cordless iron. Its great and works very well. As far as starch, I use best press. Some tips on starching I read, always starch on the back of the fabric, and warm up the fabric before you spray, it helps the starch to absorb better. I always starch before I cut as sometimes you will get shrinkage when the fabric is starched.

Cordless Iron questions .......
How long does it stay hot, before needing to go to its charging station?
If it is "drained" how long before it is fully charged?
For example ... when pressing a finished quilt, or the backing ... it could be off the charger for a long time.
Thank you!

I use spray starch any time I need to get rid of fold creases in the fabric and have never had a problem. Faultless is my go to brand. And I started using it rather than Best Press because I am cheap! Could be that I do not use a lot of starch only what is necessary to remove the wrinkle.

I use the Panasonic-NI-L70SRW with my longarm and the Panasonic-NI-WL602 next to my sewing machine for piecing. Love them both.
