I started using Best Press when I started quilting at the suggestion of my instructor and it was available for use in the classroom. I still like it and use it, always looking for a coupon or discount
I am very sensitive to smells but haven't had a problem so far. I like their lavender scent and many other lavender scented products give me a headache. But if I am working on a project where I want a stiffer finish, like for tiny pieces, I do use a can of spray starch. Don't always need that much stiffness.
