I believe on this board someone shared Quilters Monnshine. Which is a substitute for Best Press... I made it and I really like it...mix well....1 gal distiller water. 1/2 cup liquid starch (sta flo) and 1cup cheap vodka. You can also add 4 tsp essential oil for smell. I added a dab that goes into my vacuum ....don't know if that was right or wrong? But I have been pressing muslin with it and really like it....I don't know who posted this and hope they don't mind me sharing with you...
