Learning how to baste a press a kilt will go a long way towards your enjoyment of your kilt over the years....

...Heat up your iron and set to wool with steam. Get a pillow case and a spray bottle of water.
Lightly mist water on the pleats. Lay the pillow case over the pleats and with the iron Press down. DO NOT MOVE THE IRON OVER THE PLEATS. Lift the iron - set it down - Press down hard...
Thank you Steve. There are many things I learned but sewing wasn't one of them and I have to say I am nervous about it - I might try it on my acrylic first.

I was wondering too if it mattered which side was ironed? Does it matter inside or outside?
