I buy my starch at Walmart or the grocery store. I'm now tempted to try mixing my own.

When I have a lot of fabric to starch and press I spray a piece then stack it. When all the pieces are done, I flip the pile over and start pressing the first piece that was sprayed - this forces me to give the starch time to soak into the fabric.
