Default Brown starch spray UK!

Just a note to UK quilters warning you not to buy Fabric Magic Spray Starch at The Range. I bought three cans this weekend. I just started starching my fabric, shook up the can, did a big spray and it all came out yellowy brown!! I tried the other cans on some scrap fabric and they are just the same.

Luckily I only sprayed it onto some small pieces of scrappy fabric and noticed immediately that it wasn't right. I would have been very upset if I had ruined anything special.

Make your own...cornstarch and water. A lot cheaper and no fumes.

Blimey! Thanks for the tip. I would be really cross if that were me. Take it back so at least you can be refunded and maybe they will check th stock and save someone else heartache X
