The clothes always ironed up so crisp and sharp. Why can't I find that old fashioned starch now. I have to buy that old magic sizing stuff and it doesn't make my fabric near as crisp.
Anybody know where I can buy the old fashioned kind of starch? Or even the old Niagara Spray Starch? All I can find is that Magic Sizing stuff.
Well I have hear/read that you should use Magic Sizing and NOT the Niagara starch. The best thing to use is "Best Press" try it and you will wonder how you pieced quilts without it. IMHO. lol
