I put my mixture into this wonderful hand sprayer, adjust the spray mist nozzle and just spray my fabrics. If it is a nice day outside, I will hang my pieces on the clothesline to dry up a bit because sometimes if I do a heavy starch it may be a little drippy. If the weather is not good outside then I take my starched pieces and toss them into the dryer on air only and dry them for a few minutes. This does not harm your dryer. You can find these great little sprayers in the garden area of your favorite store. Mine came from WM. [ATTACH=CONFIG]465417[/ATTACH]
I heard about these sprayers a few years ago from Vicki Lawler's "Sky Dyes" video and LOVE them. Great for quilting and also for laying down a light water misting when damp "swiffing" floors. Easy on the hands too. Tip: don't fill it all the way -- gets heavy!
