Where do you starch?

I always cut out a piece of fabric about the size of the area of my ironing board where I iron the most. I do a zigzag stitch around the edgings and then pin in with small safety pins onto my ironing board. When this gets dirty, I can wash or make another one. It saves my ironing board cover - sort seems redundant, but I like doing it this way. - Cynthia

I starch on my ironing board, or on my ironing pad directly right
of my machine. I buy a piece of what I call 'decorator fabric"
maybe what some would call upholstery fabric. It is thicker
but no nap. I use that wherever I am going to press. I press
most all seams, so there is a lot of overspray. When it gets to
feeling stiff I just put it through the laundry and it is good to go
again. They do wear out in time but much cheaper to replace
than an ironing board cover or ironing pad.

I never thought about overspray until I nearly killed myself slipping on the starchy floor under where I had sprayed. My floor didn't get sticky, it got super slippery.
I use Best Press and spray carefully now.
