I never felt I could get an even layer of starch by spraying so I dunk mine into a dishpan of home-made starch....vodka and StaFlo. Then I run it thru my makeshift wringer I have set up at the double sink and then hang to dry over the sink in case it drips. Then I mist it with a solution of water with white vinegar and press. Then I cut into the yardage.
