Do you use the startch in a box that mix with water and heat or does it have to be heated. My Mom used to use it all the time and I remember it as being hot. I will try this also. Spray starching takes a lot of time in addidion to the mess it makes when spraying and on your iron and ironing board cover.

I think this is a great idea, and I'm going to put it in my notebook under 'Hints'! I really don't like spray starch, it always makes a mess on my iron. Better to get it done in one fell swoop like you do!!
