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

I tried this product thinking yeah right Im sure this will not mess up my iron. Well it does not get goop on bottom of iron and I love this so much I bought a gallon I do not want to run out .I have used it on satin and cotton with great success no flaking no sticking like other starch .All should really think about trying. A small spray bottle will get you hooked. :):)

Best Press is by far the best starch on the market! I am an avid quilter and wouldn’t use anything else. I but the gallon jug to refill my spray bottle. It is the most economical way.

Im the one who does the ironing in our family, and I used to use a ton of spray starch on my jeans and shirts back in the day. My wife had some of this stuff from a quilting project so when I ran out of starch one day I asked if I could try this product. It works better than spray starch, no residual flakes or stuck-on residue like the aerosol spray starch. I order it 2 gallons at a time and the weight of the fluid makes shipping pricey, but the product is very much worth it.

I love Best Press for quilting. It stabilizes the pieces so my blocks look nice.

I used a gallon and a half of this product to stabilize material I bought to make a 93x99 quilt as you go quilt. I did alot of ruler work on this project and had no pleating on the back, where you cant see it until its too late.

I do a lot of quilting and rely on Mary Ellen’s Best Press to keep my pieces straight and firm so they fit together well.

I came across this product when I started quilting. It doesnt leave any starchy residue and makes the material crisp and easy to cut. Although I dont iron lots of other items, I have used it occasionally for cloth/linen place mats and napkins. They look as if I had sent them to the cleaners for a professional look.

Love this product. A must have for anyone that pieces quilts. No flaking and smells great.

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.

So glad I ordered this! Personally, I like it much better than the homemade stuff. Worth the money for best end result.
