    Lightbulb Homemade Best Press
    A light bulb just went on...every time I mix my homemade best press I am franticly looking for the formula. Well next time I will not waste my quilting time...I wrote it on a slip of paper and taped it to the spray bottle.

    Is this something other than corn starch and water?

    The formula I have been using is....2 cups distilled water. 2 oz. Vodka. And 2 drops Lavendar oil.
    Easy but I could never remember. This has been posted here in boards in the past, so I did not think to add it to my original post. **Not my formula***
