This is how I mix it up as well, but in a smaller batch (2 cups) which fills my spray bottle. I give it a generous spray and usually let it air dry, then a very quick touch up with the iron and voila - nice stiff fabric ready for cutting. If I’m in a hurry and iron when it is still wet, I iron from the side that wasn’t sprayed and put a large piece of parchment paper between the starched fabric and iron (this paper can be used over and over again. If you do happen to get some starch on your iron it comes off easily with a very wet Magic Eraser. Always give your spray bottle a good shake if it has been sitting around.
