> 24 hourI tried this product, recommend by many quilters. Great recommendations. It is the only starch I use. It doesn’t leave residue or white flakes. I apply it with a fine-mist sprayer.

> 24 hourThe best thing about Best Press is the way it removes stubborn, long time wrinkles as if they never existed. I use it for quilting special parts that do not respond to steam. Use a dry iron with Best Press. Each piece is crisp and maintains its shape. It is wonderful! I have not washed the quilts afterwards but I believe it does wash out and become softer.

> 24 hourI have been quilting for a few years, but just started making a Farmers Wife quilt (small 6 blocks) that not only were small, but had many triangles and other precision piecing needs. I mentioned my struggles, and a friend suggested trying starch. I tried some spray starch from the grocery store because it was easy to get a hold of. It worked well at helping me keep the tips of my triangles very crisp. But I managed to go through 2 ironing board covers and a new iron in a month. Not to mention that I was always running out of starch. After doing some poking around online, I found Best Press. I started with a small bottle, but it was love at first press. It didnt smell, was easy to use, didnt build up on my iron or my ironing board covers, and kept all my triangles perfectly crisp. I currently always have a back up gallon in the closet, just in case. I cannot quilt without it now. Best Press is also very useful for giving body to thinner fabrics, like lawns of voiles, whether you are using them for garments or quilting. Remember to starch or use a product like this before you cut your pieces and make your quilt blocks! If you do it after you cut your pieces, or even after you piece your blocks you can cause the fabrics to distort or shrink, causing puckering.

> 24 hourThis is the best pressing agent for quilting. I find ordering the gallon size is the best option, saves me money and I always have a supply on hand. Its use is a priority in preparing fabrics prior to cutting and stitching. Best Press does not flake or gum up my iron surface.

> 24 hourEveryone has their favorite, and Mary Ellens Best Press is mine. It is much better than the generic spray starch and more effective than the other higher priced sprays that I have tried. It really helps me with the precision of piecing my quilt tops.
