I think it is more like Mary Ellen's rather than making fabric stiff, but maybe that is just me...[/quote]

Thanks for letting me know. That's ok to. I have bought Mary Ellens once. It was so expensive I used it only to iron clothes. I have had the bottle going on 3 years. and there is still a little left in the bottom hehe!!![/quote]

I add 1/3 cup liquid starch and it makes it a little stiffer. Be careful in high humidity areas, because it can attract bugs. I don't worry about it because we are very low humidity.

I missed something here. I don't see a recipe posted using cornstarch. Will someone please post it for me? I am sure that if I started spraying quilt fabric with vodka my husband would have me committed!

What's the recipe? If you posted it, it didn't come through when I got this.

Recipe is missing. Will bookmark this and check back later. The ones with vodka is intriguing! I've been buying the Niagara in a spray bottle and really like the finish it gives but free would be better.

If you click on Deb's blog link (from the original post)you will get the recipe.

Well there is one very cheap bottle of vodka in the house now. When I was reading this is just so happened that my brothers step daughter was at the liquor store so she picked me up a bottle. I am going to mix it up later and see how it works.

Watch for bugs. Wash fabric as soon as possible.

What is spray starch used for? I've never used it on quilt pieces. Should I be?

Wow this is a cheap recipe for starch, thanks for sharing.

thanks! I"ll make some soon
