@MattOberdier I have never had the starch discolor anything.

@purplesmurrrf It should straighten out when you block it.

I am crocheting a doily and following the directions exactly and I've noticed it starting to get wavy in the last few rounds. The center lays flat and it's matching the picture they have except the outer rounds aren't flat. I'm still working on it but once I block it will it straighten out? The yarn is a size 10 with a size 7 hook (don't know if that's relevant).

will the starch discolor a colored doily? I have one I made with rainbow cotton and want to block it now ...

Question! I'm having difficulty finding stainless steel pins. Everything I look at says "steel" or "nickel plated steel". I know that regular steel will rust, like you've warned, but is nickel plated steel also dangerous? Or should I do some digging online and try to find true stainless steel pins?

@insanehaberdasher You can also shape your doily with your hands. The shape will not be as exaggerated as with pins but it works just as well.

@tjw1963 That wasn't really an answer to my question, but thank you for taking the time to respond.

@insanehaberdasher I am not an expert on pins so I was providing an alternative to something that I know will work versus sending you on a wild goose chase.

Can the blocking method that u used with the iron be done on other crochet items?

@miracle308 Yes, you can do that with other crochet items. If it is cotton, it should be alright but acrylic or blended yarn may melt.
