[QUOTE=DonnaC;6350460]I love my Sta-Flo too, but ladies - what's your secret to working with
There are couple of things I do and never have a messy iron. I almost never have to clean it.
First, warm up the fabric with the iron. Spray on the starch (1/2 & 1/2), heavy or light spray. Use a REALLY hot iron. I have 4 old general electric DRY irons. (Different colors!) No holes on the sole plate. Use the cotton setting. Hot! Never sticks unless you haven't let the iron heat up enough.
If you have to pieces of fabric that you want to cut at the same time or sew together, starch them together and iron them together.
If the starch sticks to the iron or flakes, you iron isn't hot enough. Of course, this is for cotton fabric.
Hope this helps.
