I used it once and loved it. But at $9 for two cups I bought regular starch and dilute it. A half gallon cost $3 at Wal-Mart and I can mix to get the stiffness I like. I usually mix medium to heavy. The trick is that tou must wait for it to soak in the fabric and you don't get flaking or discolorization. So for $3 I get at least 2 gallons. And I must admit with this I don't have and problems with bias seams. One thing I do miss from Best Press is the nice smell.
