After I finish starching my fabric with good old cornstarch it goes in a
Ziploc bag and in the fridge overnight. When I take it out the following
day I let the excess starch drain in the sink and I put the fabric between
two towels. After one hour or two I take it to the iron (using a silicone
sheet so that I don't get my iron dirty). I know it's too complicated for
a lot of quilters but that's how I do it. My fabric stays nicely starched.
