Basting the pleats for pressing

Thank you. I've always pressed my kilts with out basting and it is rather time consuming. After reading this and trying it first hand it was incredible not only how fast it now has become but the pleats come out even better than my O.C.D. way of doing it previously. Thanks agin.
Yours Aye,

I just added a couple of photos to the original tutorial.

Just wondering if this would work on any type of fabric, i.e. polyviscose.

Sure - why not? Just don't melt your fabric with an iron that's too hot......

Cool. I have always wondered how to get my pleats ironed nice and strait. I now have a little project for this weekend.

I just did this to my kilt tonight. I barely got done ironing it about 5 minutes ago. My kilt looks so much better! The pleats are right in line. The basting made the ironing so much easier. Thanks for the tip!
