Phenomenal
Great product, works well! Use it on my daughters practice cheer bows so they don’t flop and it’s awesome. Really only one bow needed more than one coat. Pro tip for everyone complaining about dry time: use a hair dryer. If doing a cheer bow, use your fingers to hold the loops open while you dry. Took me like 15 minutes to fully do 6 bows.

Easy to use and works great
I used this fabric stiffener for some macrame crafts, and it worked beautifully! The spray makes it really easy to apply evenly, and it dries quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It’s nontoxic, which is always a plus, and my pieces held their shape perfectly once dry. I’m really happy with how professional my finished projects look thanks to this product — definitely a must-have for anyone doing similar crafts!

Perfect for Crafting Those Viral Cheesecloth Ghosts!
I used this fabric stiffener to make the trending cheesecloth ghosts, and it worked like a charm! The liquid was easy to apply and dried with a nice firm hold that kept the ghost shapes upright and spooky. It didn’t leave any sticky residue and gave the fabric a clean, crisp finish. The bottle goes a long way, and cleanup was super easy. If you're doing Halloween crafts or any fabric shaping projects, this is a must-have. Loved the results!

Great stiffener
I used this on yarn projects that needed to be stiff. Unlike just applying white glue, this didn’t make the items really rough. I will be buying this again.

It will work for one season. Not stiff enough to last.
I made a rather large (12x5 inch) lace ghost and although beautiful, storage is likely impossible. I do not expect it to keep its shape or last beyond the current holiday. I was hoping it would dry rock hard, but it is flimsy, even with extra coats.

Heavy duty starch
I embroider lace with my embroidery sewing machine. Once the embroidery is completed, I need to starch the lace to make it very stiff. This starch is the only one I’ve tried that will make things like a lace angel tree topper stiff enough to stand up
