Thanks everyone!

If you let the starch set and kinda dry out a little bit it doesn't flake nor muck up your iron either. I always starch the back of the fabric and then iron the front after it has set for about a half hour folded up. I normally starch before dinner and iron after. lol folding it up keeps it from drying all the way but you don't have that sizzle if you are using a dry iron either. Sizzle scares me also. lol
Thank you for the starching explanation. It just never occurred to me to let it go that long. Good luck with the quilt. I'll bet you do just fine.
