I starch my fabric on the cloths line when I hang it out to dry. Folding it on the line with the wrong side out and using my home made Niagara starch, I spray the back side of the fabric so it looks wet but not soaked. Leave it till damp dry and then press with a dry iron. If it gets too dry I will use steam to press it. This gives the fabric nice body to work with.

I only do this to fabric I am preparing to use, not to fabric going into my stash.

Fabric for my stash is washed and dried either outside or in the dryer. I fold and hand press it and put it in my stash so it is ready to use.

When I pull from my stash all I have to do is cut the amount I want, hang it on the cloths line, spray it, let it dry and press it.
peace
