A while back there was a thread running about starch substitutes and Dryel's version was mentioned. Does anyone know if this product or other brand is available in a regular US store? My Sis is down in NC with internet link until tomorrow and will then be travelling again (who knows where) for a week. The dryel dry cleaning pack is available here in Canada but not the starch substitute that I would like to try. I'd appreciate a reply today so that I can email her the info and she can shop, shop, shop some more. jennellh
Starch substitute

Hi Jen,
I don't know about the Dryel starch substitute, but I have tried and LOVE Maryellen's Best Press. Thus far I have only seen it online and in quilt shops. Having been on two shop hops recently (in Mass. and NH), I can tell you that at least 10 of the 15 shops I visited carry it. If your Sis can get to a quilt shop, I'll bet she will find it for you.

Well, when I lived in Germany, I asked Son to bring me a few rolls of freezer paper form California. He brought TWELVE rolls of wax paper instead. Sigh.
I've gotten the Dryel starch substitute at my local WalMart. It is almost as good as Best Press (IMHO). Hope this helps. Gail
