Does anyone have a problem with their ironing surface getting 'yucky' when using spray starch? If I spray small pieces, there is always overspray and that messes up my surface. I'm also using the StaFlo/water mix in a bottle with a nice, fine spray. However, even though I diluted the starch with more than 1/2 water, I am still getting flakes on the fabric. I try spraying very lightly, but the flakes still appear. Any suggestions from TQS land?
Thanks!
I spray lightly and then wait a few seconds, turn the fabric over, then press. Some spray bottles are better than others. The finer the spray, the better. I also repeat the process a couple times depending on the fabric. Some flimsy fabrics needs several applications. You could use a piece of muslin over your pressing surface if you are getting overspray. Happy starching!
