    Best Press

    Hi Guys,

    Can you give me your opinions on Best Press.... I have seen it over here (UK) but it is rather expensive £8.00 per bottle....... So before Imsplash out I would love to hear what you all think of it.

    Hugs

    Caroline

    I use it all the time and love it. Adds just enough weight to the fabric to help in piecing.
    If you feel like you're special...it's 'cause you are!

    okay best press is great, but you can make your own. search for the recipe on the board. i think it was 1 cup on vodka and a quart of distilled water.

    I have never used it but a friend of mine uses it and really likes it. She said she uses it sparingly since it is so expensive.

    I use it all the time and I think it is definitely worth it. I buy it off Amazon.com and get free shipping so I buy a gallon at a time. Can you purchase from Amazon in the UK? But only you can tell if it is worth the price. Buy one bottle and try it and decide for yourself.

    I also buy a gallon at a time, from the shop where I work with my employee discount. I use it not only for quilting, but also for ironing DH's shirts.

    Much better than spray starch (no residue) and gets wrinkles out of EVERYTHING!

    It's good. Bounce has a ironing spray that works the same as Best Press and it's much cheaper. It's not starch, it is a spray starch alternative and it doesn't have a heavy scent. http://www.bouncefresh.com/beyond-th...ironing-spray/ I don't know if you have this product available in your area.
    Got fabric?

    I finally found Bounce spray! Walmart in our area finally has it! I love the smell of Best Press so
    much better than Bounce spray! However the price of Bounce is much less expensive. I will probably stick to Best Press.
