I watched a youtube and it showed where you spray on one side turn it over and iron on the other side. The person starched this way three times! I don't do it three times, but I do like spraying it on then flipping it over to iron. Seems to work for me and I am becoming a believer in the benefits of using starch, which ever type you choose. I have even tried the home made one. I think I found the recipe here on the board somewhere.
