Usually best done with larger pieces. Remember to 'press' not 'iron' when working with those cut pieces. Handle them as little as possible until they are sewn into your top.
I just want to add to this exellent advice. Dip your fabric in the liquid starch and water, or spray, until damp, and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before ironing to get a really crispy ironing job.
