Top 10 Questions About Best Press Scent Free Gallon
Q: What is Best Press and how is it different from regular starch?
A: Best Press is a starch-alternative spray that conditions and stiffens fabric for pressing — it provides the crisp, smooth results of starch without the flaking, buildup, or clogged iron problems that traditional starch creates. Best Press produces consistently smooth, professional pressing results on quilting cotton, garment fabrics, and most natural fiber textiles.
Q: Why choose Scent Free over the scented Best Press formulas?
A: Scent Free is the right choice for quilters with fragrance sensitivities or allergies, studios where multiple people work and fragrance preferences vary, and quilters who prefer no added scent during pressing. The pressing performance is identical to scented formulas — only the fragrance component is absent.
Q: What is the advantage of the gallon refill size?
A: The gallon refill provides 4x the volume of a standard quart bottle at better cost-per-ounce economics — ideal for active longarm studios and frequent pressers who go through Best Press regularly. The gallon refills are used to refill standard spray bottles, reducing packaging waste and cost.
Q: Does Best Press leave residue on fabric?
A: Unlike traditional starch, Best Press does not leave white flakes or buildup on fabric or iron soles. It conditions fabric as it stiffens, leaving no residue that would require extra washing to remove.
Q: Is Best Press safe for all quilt fabrics?
A: Best Press is safe for most natural fiber fabrics including cotton, linen, and silk. Test on a small area of sensitive, hand-dyed, or specialty fabrics before full application. Avoid use on fabrics that specifically require dry cleaning or no liquid contact.
Q: How does Best Press compare to sizing spray?
A: Best Press provides more crispness and body than most sizing sprays while being gentler and residue-free. It is specifically formulated for the pressing demands of precision quilting and garment work where consistent, flat fabric is critical.
Q: Can Best Press be used in a steam iron's water reservoir?
A: Best Press is designed to be sprayed onto fabric before pressing with an iron — it should not be placed in an iron's water reservoir. Use as a spray-on fabric treatment only.
Q: How much Best Press gallon do I need for a full quilt project?
A: Usage varies by project size and pressing frequency. Active longarm studios may go through a gallon monthly; home quilters with occasional projects may use a gallon over several months.
Q: Does Best Press help prevent wrinkles when storing quilts?
A: Best Press is a pressing aid rather than a permanent wrinkle treatment. Its effects are maintained while the fabric is pressed and stored flat but do not prevent new wrinkles from forming during long-term storage.

A: Check the current product listing for live availability. Best Press gallons are consistently stocked as essential studio pressing supplies at Linda's Electric Quilters.
