Did Anyone Save This?
I haven't been a member too long and I saw info on a blog about a homemade recipe for Mary Ellen's Best Press that had appeared sometime ago on this board but they did not give the recipe. I could not find it in the Archive. I love it and find it is wonderful for hexagons. I would be glad to make it to save my money for fabric! Thanks for help in advance!

This is the recipe I use in a spray bottle:
2 cups water 1/4 cup cheap vodka a few drops of 100% lavender essential oil Mix and pour into a fine misting spray bottle. The one thing I do is to shake the misting bottle well before each use to make sure the ingredients are well mixed. I know I originally got this recipe from the QB some time ago. |

The vodka I am using is Smirnoffs. It had been in the upper cabinet for 15+ years. Finally found a good use for it. As you can tell I am not a drinker. If I had to buy some I would certainly make sure it was CHEAP!

Never would have made it to 15 years in the back of the cabinet at my house!

Speaking of old liquor.......would have been married 50 yrs last year.....DH deceased year before....anyway still have a cabinet full of liquor from the big Italian wedding...over 300 people....am sure there is vodka down there....that will make one powerful spray....wonder what else I can do with all that scotch, whiskey, gin.........

Geri B., just a suggestion, but, don't put this statement on Facebook, or you might have more offers of help than you could imagine.

I use the cheapest vodka I can find the last bottle was $5 lol.. But it works well for this and for mixing essential oil sprays. I add a bit to the spray starch I mix myself it seems to make it last longer without getting that funny smell.
