If the cost of Best Press is of concern, which it is to me, here is a hint from this board. About year or so ago someone posted that cutting/diluting the Best Press 50/50 with water really made no difference in how Best Press performed on her fabric. I started using Best Press this way ever since and personally can see no difference in the performance of the product and I buy the large bottles with coupons. Passed this tip on at quilt guild and those that have tried it say they like it.

I also have used the Bounce found at our Wal Mart in the laundry isle top shelf and I like it, I haven't tried diluting it but may just to see if it will affect the products performance.
