I starch everything including pre-cuts but not backings or battings. I make up my solution, soak the fabrics in a dishpan, then wring them thru an old wringer washer top section I rigged up over my double sink, then hang them up to dry. Then mist them when I go to press them out. Trying to wring large amount of fabrics was getting too hard for my hands plus put more wrinkles into the fabrics. This wringer contraption makes less wrinkles as the fabric is run thru it. Its not pretty but its functinonal.
