I prefer to let it dry completely , as I get a stiffer result, with no flaking and starch burn on my iron. If I was doing a project with lots of triangles I would starch ahead of time, allowing time to dry , using a strong solution 1 to 1 ratio. When I start a new project I make a good amount of the solution and immerse the fabric into the solution and let it soak in , this gives me the best results. Remember it washes out so make the fabric as stiff as you like.
