Thanks, I will try the Cornstarch recipe. It would be less expensive than my Vodka recipe.

I was just thinking about using starch and this is perfect timing.

I think I will try em both. I have an empty Mary Ellen bottle, I will just use it.
Thank you both, I learn so much here.

I have heard this before & will try it soom. Hadn't herd of putting in the iron for steaming, I use the steam all the time. Will that keep the hard water build up from happening? If I remember right vodka has no oder.

oh munner

Are you suppose to drink the vodka?

Had no idea vodka and water alone would stiffen fabric! Cornstarch is a lot cheaper, though (especially since I wouldn't be tempted to drink it!). :-D

I would not put it in my iron, I use a spray bottle.

This is true if you have higher humdity. It is really dry where I live, so I do no have to worry about bugs.

Do you have the recipe?? Did you print it and it didn't come up for me for some reason??? I knew corn starch had to be good for something. :-D

The lady who conducted the quilting class I took didn't have the time to say much so I guess that's why so much of what I read here is all new to me. My question is, why are you starching the fabric? I assume that this to stiffen the fabric. Why?
