I've used the Sta-Flo liquid starch for years, it last a really long time. It's concentrated so you mix it with water to determine the stiffness you like. My teenage children don't believe in ironing since they discovered Wrinkle Release. I can't remember to cost because but I know it's not expensive. I made a lot of the denim and flannel rag quilts. This is excellent for ironing jeans.
