Tartan, that's a good idea of using the freezer paper, hopefully I can wash out some of the stained area and I will use your method from now on. I do use starch and also Best Press, depends on what I'm ironing, and I was wondering if that stuff was the cause of my problem.
Jan in VA, I have used 2 different irons over the past few years and had the same problem with both, but I will turn the heat down a notch and see what happens.
Thank you ladies for your advice
