On a previous thread, someone said they bought some kind of starch at Fleet Farm. Does anyone recall what it was called? I am going to a Fleet Farm soon (nearest one is 2 hours away) and want to try it but can't remember what it was called.

Best Press is a sizing not a starch. It's not a food source like starch so won't attract critters. Personaly, I prefer Magic Sizing in the green can. It works as well as Best Press at a much lower price. It also won't gunk your iron or ironing surface like starch. If you're going to use the fabric right away, starch is fine. I use the starch in the blue bottle and dilute it abour half and half in my own spray bottle. But I always wash a quilt before I gift it so starch is all gone.

Are you sure? The MSDS info for Best Press states that it's in the starch family.

My local Walmart (Amherst, NH) carries BP. It is in the fabric area. Don't know if stores that don't have a fabric department would carry it. Haven't tried it yet, but I am in the sizing or just plain water group.

Magic Sizing
I really found that I like an item called "Magic Sizing". It gives a light body without the stiffness. I can ONLY find it at the larger Walmart for under $1.00 a can. Never have any problems with the nozzle plugging up and I can quickly spray and press without any flakes. I am on a tight budget so I have never tried Best Press.
