Hi Shedlock

One or two very quick lines of basting stitches would solve your problem and make the kilt so much faster to press that it would be worth the time. Here's a thread a wrote awhile ago on the topic:

It's definitely worth the effort to do it right! Once a kilt is pressed with splayed pleats, it's exceptionally difficult to recover and get the pleats pressed parallel again. And kilts shouldn't actually need pressing all that often - press the pleats only when they stop looking crisp.
