Quilty Louise you don't even have to buy the essential oil if you don't want it scented. Just plain old water and vodka. That's all I use because of some that have allergies. And yes you are right, the more vodka the stiffer fabric. 1 plus is when you iron it, no scent. Kind of like cooking with wine, the alcohol all goes away.

Yep the essential oil is optional.

I used the sunny citrus scent, but I also purchased the "linen" scent
that is what my daughter wants me to use for her bottle of starch.

I pretty much gave up drinking 25+ years ago while still in my 20's
(discovered they was making it faster than I could drink it) HAHA
this is ONLY a joke (please don't take this serious).

But ever since New Years weekend when we was at the cabin with
dad and Louise (step MIL), we had some margaritas. Tim (my husband)
has been hooked on the margarita so now he wants one every evening
after dinner before going to bed.

But if I am sewing he won't let me have a drink.

So not fair....tequilla is even better, love that stuff but I wouldn't waste it for fabric starch....no cheap tequilla that you'd even want to drink I think he just wants you to sew so he can have 2, heehee

Even though I'm not participating in the swap this month, I'm still following all of you.
Our baby is still breech so my dd is scheduled for a c section on Wednesday. A bit of a disappointment for her, but we need to do what is best for baby and mother.

Quiltnut hope you are feeling better.
Never head about making homemade starch. Learn so much on this board.

Mailing my pkg to my SP today. If I drove it to her, it would take me over 18 hours. But it is a state I have always wanted to visit. Hope it gets to her quick through the mail.

Seems like VODKA makes everything, that's how you can make your own vanilla extract as well.

Not sure if Maggy can post pics (can't remember from last time), but she got her pkg on Wed and has acknowledged it so I am posting pics for her of what I sent to her.

Nice pkg you sent msCupid! You can be my sp anytime!
I hope to have my pkg in the mail on Monday, still looking for a few more things to go with her (purple) tablerunner.
