If I have time I will iron it damp with a dry iron until it is dry. However. I am really impatient so I normally hang the wet fabric over something with a fan on it so it drys faster and then I turn the steam on when I iron!

I myself think it is easier to accurately cut fabric that has been starched really well. However I am sure there are quilters out there who cute more accurately than myself without any starch at all.

I'll stick to starching my fabric!
