I was buying the non-aerosol Niagra from Wal Mart and now can not find it at any of the local stores, also looked at the Dollar type stores. Anyone know where to find it?

I really found that I like an item called "Magic Sizing". It gives a light body without the stiffness. I can ONLY find it at the larger Walmart for under $1.00 a can. Never have any problems with the nozzle plugging up and I can quickly spray and press without any flakes. I am on a tight budget so I have never tried Best Press.

I've never used Best Press due mostly to the price and availability to acquire it in my area. I do use the Vodka recipe for making my own and add liquid starch to it as I like a stiffer result. If I know I'll be starching, I usually use a dishpan filled with my recipe, dip the fabric and hang it over the tub so it drains back into the tub for reuse. I normally just let it dry before pressing. I'll use my spray bottle filled with water to mist it while ironing. If I just need to add a little starch while pressing, I have a spray bottle filled with my recipe near by. So far with my recipe I have never had a starch build up on my iron.

Best Press, have tried others and now I'm a loyal user of this product.

There must be pixie dust or something else magic in Best Press! I've read these thread for years and never tried BP. Weekend before last I attended a Bernina demonstration at a LQS. A gift for attending and watching all their demonstrations was a small eyeglasses kit and a small bottle of Best Press. I used it for the first time this weekend. It's a miracle! I mix my own starch using liquid starch and water. It's economical and effective. But I had never tried BP! I love it. It sprays evenly, presses beautifully and never clogs. WalMart has a 32 oz. bottle to refill smaller ones for $6.91. An affordable miracle.

My quilting teacher had us use Magic Sizing. As several have said, it does a great job and is less expensive than Best Press. I get it at my local Market Street grocery store. Not every grocery store has it.

I buy my Best Press from Nancy's Notions. Usually there's a small discount plus free shipping, so that works for me. I also use liquid starch from Wal-Mart; depends on what I'm doing.
