Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I definitely have decided that I am not going to drive myself crazy running to the dryer to "catch" while it is still damp and starch right before I cut. Plus will definitely accordion fold the longer pieces.
When I spray with the spray starch do I let is soak in for any length of time? I also heard that I should iron the wrong side of the fabric in case I get flakes. Is that true?
I do have to admit that the reason I don't know a lot about ironing is that I buy all my clothes wrinkle free and even if they get wrinkled I just hang them until the wrinkles fall out!
