Potato Starch:
Starch recipe:
Dissolve 1 cup potato starch flour in 2 cups cold water.
While stirring, slowly add 2 to 4 quarts boiling water (the exact amount depends on the
stiffness desired).
Let cool enough to handle, then immerse the DRY clothes into the starch solution.
Squeeze the excess starch out of the fabric, then hang to dry.
While drying it helps to periodically pull the layers of fabric apart. This not only allows for better and faster drying,
but also prevents the starch from "gluing" the fabric to itself.
When fully dry, spray or sprinkle with water and iron at "cotton" setting.
