I love Mary Ellen's but don't use it often. Too expensive. I use Niagra non-areosol spray for my quilts most often. I have been cutting up men's shirts to make quilts with and use home-made starch for them. I found Argo Laundry starch at a little home-town grocery store. I make a big batch and dip all the fabric, wring it out and put it into the drier. When its almost completely dry, I take it out and iron them. They store them Rubbermaid totes til I am ready to use them.
