I just learned one from an Anita Solomon Grossman book which she uses when starching large quantities of fabric. I rarely startch, but I love this tip: partially dry your fabric and throw it in the fridge or better yet the freezer. Iron when you have time. Something about the coldness of the fabric makes it iron even smoother. Don't know why, but it sure works, especially when I don't have time to iron and don't want the fabric to get too dry or go sour.
Oh gosh I did that when I had five little ones running around and a ton of white shirts with french cuffs to iron, my DH wore white shirts sometimes two each day if he had meetings and back then they had to be starched, how I loved it when the permanent press fabric came out.
