Can you tell me what is so good about Best Press? Is it better than spray starch?

I use Magic Sizing. Never heard of it until instructor at LQS supplies it for classes. Googled it and here are ingredients:

I use it and Mary Ellen's; big difference in price though!

Not when I"m in Canada!!! ... just curious what your prices are.

I think I paid something like $5.99 for a 12 oz bottle at Hancocks not long ago.

It sells in Canada anywhere from $8.95 up to $11.95 for the same size bottle. Must have gold in it or something to be that varied in price in the same area. NOT!!

are you talking about the "magic genie" bobbins from Sharon Schamer? I sell those like crazy, so one day I was going to FMQ with some metallic thread and gave the bobbin genie a try...WoW...they really do work...no twists, tangles, etc...I have a friend that uses them on her LA and swears by them!
