Did Anyone Save This?
I haven't been a member too long and I saw info on a blog about a homemade recipe for Mary Ellen's Best Press that had appeared sometime ago on this board but they did not give the recipe. I could not find it in the Archive. I love it and find it is wonderful for hexagons. I would be glad to make it to save my money for fabric! Thanks for help in advance!

This is the recipe I use in a spray bottle:
2 cups water
1/4 cup cheap vodka
a few drops of 100% lavender essential oil
Mix and pour into a fine misting spray bottle. The one thing I do is to shake the misting bottle well before each use to make sure the ingredients are well mixed. I know I originally got this recipe from the QB some time ago.

The vodka I am using is Smirnoffs. It had been in the upper cabinet for 15+ years. Finally found a good use for it. As you can tell I am not a drinker. If I had to buy some I would certainly make sure it was CHEAP!

I use the cheapest vodka I can find the last bottle was $5 lol.. But it works well for this and for mixing essential oil sprays. I add a bit to the spray starch I mix myself it seems to make it last longer without getting that funny smell.
