I go through spraystarch like crazy. It's getting rather expensive. I have googled and found many recipes but some say it needs a preservative or needs to be used within a few days. I would hate to starch my fabric and have it mold. There are lots and lots of smart quilters on this board so I expect that maybe some of you make your own starch. Care to share the recipe? katie

OH I would like to know this too!

Look what they posted here, not to long ago.

I haven't tried it yet.

I get the half gallon Sta Flo concentrated starch and mix 50/50 in a spray bottle.

how interesting

it will only go bad in the bottle, not after you've srayed and ironed dry. the concentrate is very economical

you can mix 2oz. of vodka to 4 oz of distilled water.. that got alittle expensive also ..i'm goin to try the cornstarch as soon as i run out of vodka.. hope the cornstarch doesn't leave flakes,the vodka doesn't .. a nice sizing..molly

One of the things I read, said to boil the water before adding the starch, then cook for a short time to dissolve before adding to bottle. Makes sense to me. I have added it to cold water and later it did get a sour smell. Can refrigerate to prevent this.

Are you kidding Vodka? Really? Joking?
