I'm going to run to the store and buy up some starch. I usually use a basting spray like June Tailors but haven't been able to find much of anything lately at JoAnn's. I have blocks stacked up waiting to get some but the cost of a 505 or something similar is so high. I certainly will try out this technique. I usually only spray one or two blocks at a time anyway, don't know how much I'll get done. Thanks so much.
