Glad you posted this question as I was going to use starch to stiffen the back of the quilt I'm making. Wonder if I would encounter the same problem when ironing the back after starching.

I use Faultless Hot Iron Cleaner on my iron. But, this is to clean residue off, not sure if it would take paste off.
