Vodka vs. Starch ?

Hope that makes sense!

I use the cheap Vodka for the starch and the good Vodka for me. Did someone say Bloody Marys?

Feel the same about this thread. Have to tell you that many years ago a good Bloody Mary was Beer&Tomato juice. A little of one a little more of the other. Your taste. Also Port Wine and Grapefruit juice. Again a little of one and a little more of another. Don't do any quilting just enjoy the day

Mix in up in a spray bottle and use when ironing.
I don't put it in the iron.
