Quilty-Louise

I know what you mean about the Best Press I was thinking about
buying a gallon of the stuff, but I didn't want to spend that much
money on something that won't last long even when I dilute it way
down to help conserve the usage.

The recipe I found and seem to like is:

2 cups distilled or filtered water (I used filtered tap from my faucet)
3 oz of CHEAP vodka
1/2 tsp. of essential oil (original recipe calls for 1 tsp.)

Mix well pour into spray bottle that has a fine mist adjustment.
I am thinking of adding a bit more vodka to the mixture to help
get a little more stiffness to the fabric.


Even my inexperienced daughter (who I am teaching to sew/quilt)
tried it and liked the way it worked on getting some particularly
stubborn wrinkles out of some prewashed fabric.

She asked me to make her some of this starch. So after taking her
home I went to the liquor store and asked for the cheapest vodka
they sold.

The poor guy looked at me like I had lost my mind and was like
um ma'am not to be rude but I have heard that the cheapest stuff
we sell is worse then gut rot.

I smiled and said PERFECT! I will take the 750ml bottle at 6.49.
After a few more strange looks from him I explained that I don't
plan to drink the nasty stuff, I only plan to put it in a spray bottle
and use a starch for my quilting fabrics.

Think I need to find a new liquor store now he might have the men
in white jackets waiting for me the next time I stop.

Good night everyone I am off to bed.
