    Brown starch spray UK!

    Just a note to UK quilters warning you not to buy Fabric Magic Spray Starch at The Range. I bought three cans this weekend. I just started starching my fabric, shook up the can, did a big spray and it all came out yellowy brown!! I tried the other cans on some scrap fabric and they are just the same.

    A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

    Hope you were able to get the brown out of your fabric.

    Luckily I only sprayed it onto some small pieces of scrappy fabric and noticed immediately that it wasn't right. I would have been very upset if I had ruined anything special.

    Make your own...cornstarch and water. A lot cheaper and no fumes.

    Blimey! Thanks for the tip. I would be really cross if that were me. Take it back so at least you can be refunded and maybe they will check th stock and save someone else heartache X

    I will definitately take them back, but will have to wait until the weekend to do that. In the meantime I have emailed the stores customer service department in the hope they will check out their stock. I keep imagining how I would have felt if I had sprayed it onto some of my vintage linens! I would hate for that to happen to someone else.
