I ♥ Niagra non-aerosol starch, easily available at my local grocery store. I like Best Press but it's too expensive.

I used a recipe on the board for the equivalent of Best Press and used Geranium oil. It works just like MEBP and instead of buying a bottle of Vodka my husband brought home a couple of the small bottles. You only use 1 oz. to blend the oil into the water. Works like a charm.

This is a good tip, I bought some starch and used it once and hated how it flaked and made my iron dirty. Thank You ;)

I've been using aerosol spray starch, but I just bought a bottle of the non-aerosol to try out. I also have some liquid starch but haven't gotten around to using it yet. I do like to use starch, but I hate over-spraying it.

If your talking about in quilting, I mix the big blue bottle with equal parts water, pour in a bucket add the yardage of fabric, wring out excess, put in the dryer, then iron. No flaking this way, preshrinks fabric. Sometimes if the wrinkles are bad I spray with water after they come out of dryer, still no flaking.

I also use magic sizing ~ Cheap (oops frugal) and gets the job done for me.

Does anyone line dry - do you think it would matter if you dried it without a tumble dryer?

line dry or machine dry either will work.
