A couple of years ago I purchased Aileen's Best Press at a quilt shop. I read on facebook that some people were using it on doilies between rounds. They would do a quick block and use the best press on the doilies to add body. So when I saw it I thought I would try it but it's been sitting in my cabinet since then.
Recently, I had this pile of ice drops that I really didn't what to do with. So I decided to block them and test out the best press. The ice drops were all test tats or experiments so nothing was lost if they were destroyed. I aldo wanted to see what the best press did to the plastic gems.
So I rinsed the tatting, laid it out in the shape I wanted and sprayed them with the best press.
I think it was a win. The dimensional tatting actually held its shape but was still pliable. The plastic gems werr not damaged by the spray.
I'm really happy with the results.
I've used Best Press on doilies, but haven't tried it with Ice Drops yet. It's nice to know it works well!
