A Little Bit of Advice Requested

[Dixiecat]

Steel paperclips? You know what happens when steel and water mix right? It would be safer not to use them.

I first would relax the wool from whatever pleats were pressed in by using a little steam a section at a time, then line up the pleats properly, pin and baste into place, as noted in the Art of Kiltmaking box pleat supplement, then using a press cloth and a steam iron, press. Not iron, but press.

Do you seriously think that steel rusts that quickly? In 30 seconds? No wonder the Titanic sunk. It was probably rusted through before it left the slipway.

I have been using the same paper-clips for almost four years and guess what - no rust.

If Jordan knew how to pin and baste, why do you think that he is messing around with a dry cleaners?

What I find shockingly offensive is that you think that I would deliberately give Jordan bad advice so he would ruin his kilt.
