Pressing Kilt (Not resetting pleats)

[MacWage]

They'll never find me - my glengarry is foil-lined so they can't read my thoughts.

Is that on the inside or outside.
On the inside, as a COMPLETE covering, it works to block the signals.
If on the outside, it is VERY difficult to get a good covering, esp. around the toorie. If it is too uneven, and ESP. if the toorie area is not covered, it just AMPLIFES the signals as an antenna OR sends them as beam!

I'm confused.

How does the foil help to protect the bricks from outside influence?

I have to concur with Steve about pressing. Before getting deep into this forum, I made the mistake of taking the iron to one of my tanks. It's in bad shape. I'm dreaming of a shaped 3D pressing surface. It has flat clamps that pull pleats straight and even so you can press a kilt as easily as ironing a shirt. Anybody got a free time to make one?

Ok, just having completed my fisrt worsted kilt, I give this advice: If you wish to press your kilt do it with basting the pleats, making sure that the pleats are the same width all the way down from the fell. Then take a steam iron and press down with a wet pillow case in between the kilt and the iron. Do not slide, press. This is why they call it pressing not ironing. If you want to do more than just the pleats, get a pressing ham and check out Barb's kilt making book...

Good luck,
