I do as Dunster. It is easier to press if taken out of the dryer slightly damp but I always forget and dry them to bone-ness. I keep a spray bottle at my ironing board and spritz with water as I am ironing. I use starch inconsistently so if I am going to use it, I starch just before cutting. If I am working with big yardage, I may lop off a smaller portion to starch. When starching I spray and let it soak into the fabric before ironing again.
