Repairing a kilt yourself?

[Riverkilt]

Somewhere, there's a very old thread from Ham about pressing your kilt on the floor. Just too difficult to wrestle with it on a tiny ironing board. He lays it out on the floor to get everything laid out just right then presses.

Do you perhaps know which thread that is? Or a better one on pressing?

Four, I think you are talking of the waistband stitching that sometimes pops on elastic waists. You must know someone with a sewing machine and some basic skill, the tread is easy to match color. It is a standard straight stitch, stretch out the elastic and match the stitch length. Clip the loose tread ends and stitch it down the original path overlapping the good area by 1/2 inch with the elastic fully stretched. It would take me about 2 minutes on my machine.
