I love Best Press but it's pretty expensive for my tight budget so I make my own. I use 1/4 cup CHEAP vodka, 2 cups water, and a few drops of 100% pure lavendar essential oil. Put it in a spray bottle with a fine mist setting. In my opinion, it works exactly the same as Best Press but it's MUCH less expensive. Try out the recipe on some scrap fabric and see how it works for you. Good Luck!

I love it. I agree it is rather expensive, I also pay $8.00 per bottle. I use it very sparingly.

It's good. Bounce has a ironing spray that works the same as Best Press and it's much cheaper. It's not starch, it is a spray starch alternative and it doesn't have a heavy scent. http://www.bouncefresh.com/beyond-th...ironing-spray/ I don't know if you have this product available in your area.

the best press spray bottles do a great fine mist....love best press but have gone over to the vodka press due to price. I use an ounce of vodka to half gallon of distilled water and a drop of essential oil, works great. |
not worth the price. any good fabric finish will do the same thing. Much too pricey
|
I love it!! I can't imagine not having it!!! Three of us buy it by the gallon and split it!!! It is SO worth buying!!
|
I use lots of spray starch and would buy it exclusively if I could afford it. Love, Love, Love it. The smell is so outdoor fresh and certainly helps my gloomy days inside be happy outdoors days when I am quilting or ironing. For me, ironing is a treat, like a good book is to others. Relaxing and the aroma of fresh laundry brings back the smell of fresh sheets on the line from my childhood.

I use it too. I really like it and think its worth the money. When I'm spraying I do remember the price though.
|
After trying one bottle, I found it was not worth the price! I thought spraying with water would have done the same thing! Regular spray starch or starch alternative does a better job. Also found that it evaporates if left sitting in the spray bottle. Amazing that a little lavender scent can brainwash quilters into paying $8.00 a bottle for water.

I buy it by the gallon and only use it! It is wonderful.
