A friend had some of her 30's fabric change color when starched and she uses great quality material. Test first.

I have been looking for liquid starch and can only find canned. Where do you buy liquid starch to mix for yourself?

Most grocery stores carry it on the same isle as the laundry detergent.....

At my quilt class yesterday our teacher said to never use spray starch...but it was her preference. She said use the cheap sizing from the dollar store. So I went to the dollar store yesterday, and they only had spray starch.

Well, Carol, I remember it! :D My mom used to take in ironing from the family that gave me a ride across town to school every day as a way to pay them back. She used to dampen OUR clothes, ball them up, and store them in the freezer until she had time to get to them. Three kids in Catholic schools = 15 shirts a week, so there was always lots to do!

As for starch, I use the Niagara spray starch in a bottle -- cheap, works well, and you get to use the bottles over again. Starching fabric just makes it so much easier to work with. :thumbup:

Bellaboo: could you be convinced to part with the sprinkler top that fits in a soda bottle? I grew up using one to sprinkle clothes. I have been unable to find one to purchase. I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for it.

I like Mary Ellen's Best Press, too. I use the unscented.

Right now, Joann's website has the gallon jugs of Best Press on sale for $29.39. It has every scent of Best Press on sale including the unscented.

Right now, there is also a coupon code you can use for free shipping. It's PIA160. However, the free shipping is only for orders over $35.00.

Amen, I use it too and love it. Worth the extra.

Mary Ellen's Best will not yellow your material.
