I have the exact same problem, with two different brands of irons, and at some point just gave up. I use spray starch before cutting anything, and never iron the fabric at all until I'm ready to cut it. I wash all fabric as soon as I bring it home (after pinking the cut ends), and it comes out of the dryer with minimal wrinkles. Then I fold it and put it away until I'm ready to starch and cut. I can't imagine ironing anything I'm going to fold and put away. It would be a total waste of time because it would need to be ironed again before cutting. Starch makes fabric much easier to handle, but it's not good to store fabric that has been starched because silverfish may be attracted to it.
