Not if you do it right. After applying the starch I let it soak for at least 30
mins but very often overnight in a ziploc in the fridge. When I'm ready to
iron and if the fabric is too wet I roll it a towel then press with a cloth on top
until I get all the steam out...then remove the ironing cloth and finish
ironing. Might not be for everyone but it saves me from a lot of grief.
If ever I get a bit of starch on the iron I wipe it with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
