Place fabric on the ironing board and press using as little starch as needed. Is this right? Cold damp fabric does iron nicely.
Where do you get starch substitute?
You were taught well! Was taught the same thing and it made going into the refrigerator interesting. We put it in the refrigerator if we could not get to it that day to prevent "souring" or maybe mold. If it was going to be longer my mom was known to put it in the freezer...we had an upright.
