Witch hat silhouette artwork involves creating images of witch hats using silhouettes. These works of art often showcase the iconic shape of a witch's hat against a contrasting background, usually a moonlit night sky or a dark and eerie forest. The use of a silhouette technique allows for a striking and mysterious depiction of the hat, emphasizing its unique shape and symbolizing the mystique associated with witchcraft. These artworks can be crafted through various mediums, such as drawings, paintings, or even digital designs. They can be created in a minimalist style, with a simple black outline against a plain background, or they can be more intricate, incorporating other elements like stars or bats. Witch hat silhouette artwork is popular around Halloween and can be used as decorations, on clothing, or as standalone pieces of art.
I’ve been using Best Press for years and I’ve been fairly happy with it, but I always knew that something better would come along. And it has! I really like Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray (affiliate link) and I’ll be comparing it to Best Press only. I feel like these two products are similar in character compared to most other commercial spray starches on the market.

Product Review: Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray
Do you use starch to prepare your fabrics for cutting and piecing? I always do because it gives stability to my fabric and more accuracy during cutting and piecing. Today, I have an exciting new product to tell you about, so I thought I would give a product review of Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray. This is not a sponsored blog post, but any Amazon links are affiliate links.

Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray is made by Faultless which is a company you may be familiar with. They make several starch products such as Niagara, Faultless Gold Starch and Magic Sizing. Their latest addition is Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray, and it has a few things going for it that I really like.
- Number one is that it’s a stronger starch. It gives fabric more stability than Best Press but not so much that the fabric feels overly stiff. If you want to make it more stiff, you can reapply as often as needed.
Below, I have taken a fat quarter that has been rolled up and needs to be pressed. You can see the wrinkles before and how it looks after. True that any starch product would do the same thing, but I’m happy with the amount of stiffness I get from Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray.

- It comes in an aerosol can and a spray trigger container which is my favorite (more environmentally friendly). The spray comes out in a fine mist and one “squirt” covers a good-size area. It does not clog up or drip. I’ve been a little disappointed with the spray of Best Press – it’s not as fine as this one.
- It is also fragrance free which is nice if you have allergies or are sensitive to fragrance. This is something I’m learning to appreciate. I had always enjoyed the scent options of Best Press (it also comes in unscented). Recently, I started noticing how toxic it felt when I inhaled it. I could feel it burning in my throat. Maybe it’s my old age because I never noticed this when I first started using Best Press.
- Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray has all of the ingredients listed right on the bottle and on their website. I honestly can’t tell you how safe the ingredients are, but I know there is a “film former”, an ironing aid and two preservatives on the list. I cannot find the ingredients of Best Press anywhere on the company website or on the bottle itself. It does proclaim to be “earth and people friendly” but I’m not sure what that means.
- Both Best Press and Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray do not flake and do not leave spots or a residue. This is a great feature of both products!
- Pricing of these products has been a question for me. I’ve heard many people complain of the cost of Best Press. Fortunately you can purchase Best Press in gallon size and pint size containers. I’ll be using the 16 oz trigger container of both products for pricing comparison. On the company website, Best Press (unscented) costs $8.95 (US). On Amazon, the same product (Cherry Blossom Scent) is listed at $12.51 (as sold by Best Press) or you can purchase a 2-pack of unscented for $27.99.
- For Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray, the company website lists a single bottle for $8.99 (16 oz). On Amazon, they only offer a 3-pack of Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray for $27.99. If I’m going to use Amazon as the price comparison, it seems that Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray is the better deal.
Note: As always, I recommend that you purchase any of these products from your local quilt shop if available.
We all have our preferences and some may never feel the need to use starch at all. I always thought of Best Press as a good product, but not a great product. I think I’ve found a great product with Magic Quilting & Crafting Spray.
In the end, it’s the performance that trumps everything for me. I love how this spray works on fabric and the amount of stability it adds to the material. I also love now the spray application is fine and broad. If you’ve never tried it before, I would definitely feel comfortable recommending it to you.

Reviews for "Witch Hat Silhouette Artwork: A Captivating Blend of Darkness and Whimsy"
1. Peter - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with this witch hat silhouette artwork. The quality was very poor and the image was blurry and pixelated. It looked nothing like the picture shown on the website. The colors were dull and the overall design seemed rushed and poorly executed. Definitely not worth the price I paid for it.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I absolutely hated this witch hat silhouette artwork. The design was so basic and uninspiring. It looked like something a child could have drawn. The colors were faded and there was no depth or dimension to the piece. I was expecting something much more intricate and detailed based on the description. Save your money and look elsewhere for better artwork.
3. John - 2/5 stars - The witch hat silhouette artwork was a big letdown for me. The image looked much smaller and less vibrant in person than it did online. The materials used felt cheap and the overall construction was flimsy. It also didn't come with any hanging hardware or instructions, which was frustrating. I wouldn't recommend this artwork to anyone looking for something of good quality.
4. Lisa - 3/5 stars - I wasn't too impressed with this witch hat silhouette artwork. While the design was decent, I found the colors to be a bit dull and muted. The overall composition lacked excitement and didn't create the impact I was hoping for. It wasn't necessarily terrible, but I wouldn't consider it a standout piece either. There are better options out there.
