I just buy the 1/2 gallon of starch at the grocery store. I mix it up 50/50 (starch and water) and put it in a spray bottle from the dollar store (or the container that I bought 4 years ago before I figured out I could mix my own much cheaper) and spray it on the small pieces after sewn or larger fabric piece before I cut it and iron it. I usually put the fabric in a plastic bag and let it sit awhile when I am cutting fabric, then iron the starched fabric sometimes with steam and sometime not. It works for me.
