Pressing PV Kilts
This is my first PV kilt. I am making three kilts out of some light weight material that I got on ebay. One for each of my brothers and one for me.
I have been working on a knife pleated traditional kilt with PV (or Polester Rayon for us americans). I found the PV to unravel a lot more while I was doing the sewing. Everything else seemed to be nearly the same as wool.
I am now ready to start the pressing. Do you press a PV the same as wool? Do I turn the temperature to the polyester setting? With or without steam? Do I still use a pressing cloth or go with the iron on the material?
