Mary Ellen Products 60041-1 startch, Scent Free, 16 Ounce

Great price

This is the best starch I have found to iron my clothes. It doesnt flake and it doesnt take a lot of it. However, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find.

I use Best Press every time I begin cutting for a project (and several times throughout the quilt making process). I prefer the unscented as a matter of personal preference. Although there are other products out there, this is, in my opinion, the best. I highly recommend it.

This is the best product for quilt making. I mix with water and a few drops of my preferred essential oils, and go to town on the most stubborn quilt seams. Love this because I can store pressed blocks long term without worrying about pests. And it works! Like magic! Im on my second gallon. No regrets.

I 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.

I use this to stiffen my quilt fabrics before I cut them. The starch keeps them from stretching, and is especially useful when working with fabric that has been cut in the bias. I like the scent free version, but I have also used the scented.

Didnt know I could buy Best Press in this quantity. Sure beats going back to the store again and again.

Love this product for my quilt projects. Helps me press down bulk, create crisp seams, and create a smooth quilting surface.

The 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.

I love Mary Ellens Best Press. Not sure getting through Amazon was the best idea as the bottle leaked and I lost about 1/2 cup. It was packaged in a plastic bag so it didnt leak through onto anything, but such a sad waste.
