I did this to several pieces and thought I would wait and let them dry before ironing. However, impatience won and I started ironing the first piece. It ironed out beautifully and there were no flakes!!! I was impressed. I'm also too lazy to measure concentrated liquid starch and dip my fabric (I do remember my mother starching my father's shirts that way). This worked great for me and I was very happy with the way the fabric handled afterward. You learn such awesome tips on the this board!
I'm a recent convert to the concentrated liquid starch. I mix up relatively small batches at a time in a spray bottle. No dipping, just spritzing. Far more econimical than the spray cans plus I can see exactly how much I have left. No running out in the middle of a project.
