Gave it it's First Wash.

[Tarheel]

Bill, try a small shot of spray starch on the inner apron and press the kilt hem between two pieces of fabric (not sweeping the iron over the material). The hottest setting on my iron also includes steam which has worked just fine with my wool kilt and should do fine with the fabric of your kilt. If this works you will be able to flatten the hem of the pleats. If it does not work, the inner apron will not show the error. You will not have to apply the heat too long. My rule is a count to five before I remove the iron from the surface.

If you can't force yourself to buy a can of aerosol starch, I have used a mixture of powdered starch and water. I find that this mix will wash out with each laundering as the propellants and chemicals in the aerosol cause a binding to the fabric.
