I use Magic Sizing for most things but buy the Best Press large one when on sale for some things.

I use faultless premium profession spray starch. It has a pleasant smell, works great, and you can buy it for under $2.oo per can and it doesn't flake on darker fabrics.

I use 1 1/2 tsp of cornstarch to 16 ounces of water. I got the essential oil at Whole foods, expensive though! I saw it a Safeway, way more expensive there, but think you could probably get it at a Michaels or other craft store.

I heard this too! Recently got a bottle to try it out, so I plan to mix it half & half with water too! Got it on sale to try it, then I will decide if I want anymore of it...

Love it also! I use my 40 percent off coupon at Hancocks every time I buy.

Is that the one with a gold cap? That's the one I use. Works great, but doesn' t smell nearly as nice :( but the price is right).

I use it all the time and love the way it takes the creases out of fat quarters. When you spray it on you can just see the creases start to relax.

I just went to the web site and they quoted me almost $10 for shipping UPS. I declined--that made it the same price as I pay at my LQS.
