Going to have to baste it sometime before ironing, why not before washing??

He was washing it in a washing machine... I can see how basting stitches might cause major problems in that situation by getting caught on things.
Handwashing a kilt, it's probably a good idea to baste before washing, unless, as I have read, the kilt is very dirty.
The only kilt I put in the washer is a cotton canvas with sewn edge pleats, so I can't say for sure on the acrylic.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
