I have used Magic Sizing for years for my clothes and keep it on hand. It's a great alternative to starch, although I don't think it's actually starches unless it's very light. As one gal suggested, use the coupons for fabric stores to save. I didn't want to use BEST PRESS either due to cost. Like you I am on a budget. But I did try it and I really like it and only buy it when I have a coupon. I got the refill bottle with a coupon as well. You can get coupons from stores on your smart phone. Hancock Fabric and Joann's Fabric are always running sales. Just go to I've never tried it on fabric, so you've given me a great idea to try it!
