Starching
To starch the doily, use a hot iron, a damp piece of muslin, an ironing board and any commercial spray starch. I used Niagra Spray starch available in any grocery or discount store. Lay the doily on the muslin and lightly spray the doily all over. Cover the doily with another piece of muslin and iron lightly enough to flatten the slight ruffles you may have in the doily. You may need to stretch it into shape a bit to get it to come out just the way you want it. Let is cool and dry completely before removing it from the ironing board. No need for pins.
