I am as well...I hate overly scented fabric softner sheets and despise people (men & women) who wear way too much cologne/perfume. YUCK!!!

I cannot find this silly stuff ANYWHERE! I'll have to look online, I guess... *sigh*...

Thanks for the link. The price was $3.50 but the shipping was $7.60. So guess I will have to keep looking for it here.BrendaK

Keep your eyes on the laundry section of your stores. It's there with the spray starches. If you can't find it where you live, get hold of the store manager & ask them to get it in. I just got some at Walmart. Came with a $1 off coupon, so it was $1.96. It is very comparable to Best Press. Same qualities, but much cheaper.

I'm a convert too. Love the stuff. I get it at Walmart, but you can't always find it. When I do I pick up two bottles.

This will be on the top of my list when I next head to the States. This product is not available in my part of Ontario and I can't even buy any kind of liquid starch here. The only thing I can buy is the Aerosol spray starch or Best Press. They may wonder at the border why I will have a case or two of starch to declare. I intend to share it with my quilt buddies at my Stitch and Share group.

I make my own starch for pennies a quart...It makes the iron glide over the fabric. It has no sent unless you want it to. You can add a sent if you like. It does not flake. You can control the stiffness of the starch. I have been making this for years. I got the recipe years ago on a web site featuring Alex Anderson....

I had never heard of it. I'm going to check for it next time I'm at Walmart. Sounds like good stuff. Thanks for all the info.

Default Isn't it the husband not-finding-things normal?

But, when I asked hubby to get it at walmart the other day, he said they didn't have it. ???
I don't know about yours, but mine sometimes can't find milk in the grocery store either, lol
