Starch
Greeting,
I am using starch and I am getting spots on my fabric. I need it for hooping my embroidery. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help. |
Spray the back of the fabric and let it sink into the fabric. Then iron.
You may using too much starch or not waiting before you iron the fabric. PS: I hang yardage over the shower curtain rod, spray with starch, and damp dry. Then iron. |
I add a little water.
|
I'm using a light spray of Best Press, no spots. They have a tute on how to use it, but I would never put that much on.
|
Exactly what Rhonda said!
|
Mist the object with water first and then spray with the starch. Never a problem with doing it that way for me.

I use sizing sometimes over starch. It put the body back in I need without such a heavy starchy feel. All depends on the fabrics I am using. The other factor is if the fabrics are prewashed.
