wow learn something new every day. I am going to have to try this. It really stiffens the fabric?

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!!!
