The basics As new quilting techniques are created, newer products are needed to help make the job easier. The “other” Best Press is one of those products.  The benefits “The other” Best Press #2 isn’t a starch! It’s an organic starch alternative formulated to eliminate all the problems associated with spray starch products. The uses It solves many of the challenges faced when quilting in layers. Appliqués and tiny stamp-like fabric pieces are easier to handle. Fabric will not shift or stretch while sewing. Adds body to flimsy, thin fabrics too. The bottom line This does not replace the original Best Press! You’ll find both are necessary to make the perfect quilt.
