Natural stuff--umm like natural foods. It is pricey but lasts a long time. Health food stores. GNC?

I had been using Faultless and ran out. My DH went to the store and got Niagra, I lked it better. The spray was finer and I thought covered better.

Mary Ellen's is good and well worth the expense! I know of a couple of quilt shops in my area that will refill my Mary Ellen's spray bottle for about $4.

I use the Niagra and it works great for me. I don't like aerosols at all.

I love Mary Ellen's Best Press. You don't have to use alot so it goes quite a ways.

There is also a product out there called "STAFLO" starch. It comes in several different sizes and it is concentrated. It is very cheap and lasts forever. You mix it as strong or as light as you want it. I would recommend that you make it very light for quilting. It works great for ironing cloths also. Can be found at most grocery stores as well as Wall Mart.

Yes, the Best Press is pricey and I think it doesn't give the body that starch does. I recently switched to Sta-Flo (mix 50/50 with water in my empty Best Press bottle!) as I had the same problem with the rusty nozzle on the Faultless brand. I might try the new non-aerosol, but I can't take the fragrance. When you press for any length of time, it gets to me. That's one thing about Best Press--it comes in fragrance-free.

I am trying the diy that you mix with vodka. Too many of these flake off. I like Mary E's but its too expensive when you do as many quilts as I do. I'll let you know how I like the homemade after it sits for 3 days.
