For those who applique, I use Best Press for my freezer paper method because it makes a much softer press around the paper template and is easier to needle through. If you prefer a heavier starch and want the lavender smell, Faultless now makes a lavender spray starch as well. in Heavy but Magic Starch makes a Lavender one in regular strength and it is much less expensive that Mary Ellen's Best Press. Keep an eye out for it at your local grocers and at Wal-Mart and Target. I know I got mine at one of these places or maybe even several of these stores. I always keep plenty of starch and also sizing if I can find it in my house because I do lots of quilting and mostly applique.
