Twistedstitcher, this wasn't my question, but thanks for that tip on the iron cover. I don't have the starch problem (yet), but I bought a Black and Decker, old style iron that I LOVE because it gets really hot (my old iron was so-so for cottons), but it has really big holes in the sole plate that catch on seams. Plus it has just a stainless steel sole plate that sticks a little. I'm gonna have to get me one of those covers! I'm all excited now - gonna have to go to Joann's and see if they have one in stock! :lol:
