Janice, I mentioned UK for the supply and names really, but its always such
a help to get all the different types from so many of you around the world.
Thank you for your input, always helpful. I am copying the info onto a word
document because I never remember all of them if I dont. It makes very
interesting reading later and I can try others to see which I prefer.
Again, many thanks, Sue T
I know Sue asked for UK suppliers, but I thought I would pass on my
experience to anyone.
If you have received your new Bulletin, on the inside cover is a Christmas
Angel that I designed. I stiffened it with hairspray originally but it
went limp (as shown in the photo). I then used undiluted Sta-Flo liquid
starch. That also went limp over time. Yesterday I was giving the sample
to a friend and I decided to try another stiffener. I got api's Crafter's
Pick Fabric Stiffener (cheaper than Stiffy, about $4). I paint my starch
on and then blot any excess with paper towel. The instructions said to let
it dry so I did not use a hairdryer to speed up the process. It did dry
clear but I did not put it on the gold metallic thread just in case it
made it dull. I liked the Moravia starch but I think it had a shelf life
problem and my second bottle went solid and was undilutable.
