Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Best Press different from traditional spray starch?
- Traditional cornstarch spray starch can flake onto fabric as it dries, build up on the iron soleplate, and cause scorching. Best Press is a synthetic sizing formula that provides crisp pressing without any of these issues. It is widely considered the gold standard for quilting pressing applications.
- Why choose Scent Free over the scented versions?
- Scent Free is ideal for quilters with fragrance sensitivities, for studio environments where multiple people work, and for any situation where fabric scent should be neutral after pressing. The performance is identical to the scented versions.
- Is 16oz the right size for a production studio?
- For production studios pressing regularly, the gallon refill is more economical. The 16oz bottle is convenient for spot use, personal pressing boards, or customers who don’t press in high volume.
- Can Best Press be used with any iron?
- Yes — spray Best Press on the fabric, not into the iron reservoir. It works with all iron types.
- Does Best Press change fabric color or texture?
- Best Press dries clear without residue and does not permanently alter fabric texture or color. The crisp pressing effect relaxes out with normal handling and washing.
