I recently purchased and tried both these products and thought I’d make a personal opinion comparison of the two. Here’s what I found.
Both were purchased at my local Hancock Fabric store.
Best Press – 16 oz. paid over $8.00
Niagara – 22 oz. paid less than $5.00
Both products work well for starching; there was no flaking for either product. Besides the bottle size and the price it was the sprayer that showed me the most difference.
The Best Press sprayer dispensed the starch in heavy clumpy droplets. I used the whole bottle in one evening working half of a heavily pieced quilt top.
By comparison the Niagara product sprayed in a fine even mist that allowed me to evenly distribute it, I used it on the other half of the quilt top and was very impressed that it feels as if I still have more than ½ the product left in the bottle.
I had originally thought to use the bottle to make and fill with my own starch product, but at this price for the size with a great sprayer, I’ll continue to purchase and use the Niagara product.
Just my thoughts. Thanks!
