    Thanks for that Barb. I did stabiliser and canvas yesterday. I have finished the apron facing and have yet to do the underapron facing. I have already basted in the shaping for the apron/underapron.

    So when I get home at lunch today I still think I have the chance to remove bastion, flatten, re-baste and press again. That should take the afternoon but it will be worth it.

    I took out the basting, pressed it flat, re-basted (pinning then basting, two pleats at a time) then re-pressed, lightly steaming first as you indicated, Barb.

    I am much happier with the result.
