If you have not starched before creating your sandwich, you can still spray starch afterwards. Lay the sandwich on a large sheet and spray starch from the edges towards the center (to minimize overspray). Let dry (a fan speeds up this process), then spray again. A few layers of spray starch like this on both sides of the sandwich can help a lot to prevent puckers.
Thanks for the advice Prism! Does it matter if the fabric was (intentionally) not prewashed? And what it there are safety pins all over your sandwhich? Can it still be sprayed with starch?
