Right ... just right! :)
Didn't the other posted recipe include adding corn starch or liquid starch to the mix?

I'm leaning towards this one because someone said bugs and silverfish like corn starch - well I HATE BUGS or anything like them that crawls, so you can be sure I will just buy whatever our stores sell and just spray heavier, lol

I used to use Magic Sizing until it left brown spots on something I was ironing. I thought it was because the can was old but didn't want to take the chance again. Also, I would get some flaking from time to time.

The vodka, water, and scented oil is used to put in your iron for scented steam. The tip was in a lot of older quilt magazines and Ricky Timms talked about it on his show. You have to use the vodka, something about the oil and water mix.

I really like the way it makes the fabric behave, especially while FMQ, I purchase it by the gallon, sometimes at my favorite quilt shop, sometimes on line, I also use it for sewing ans on my granddaughters clothes, it doesn't leave them starchy for her little body :D
