Pleats on a new wool kilt

[jthk]

Basting and pressing is one of those skills that every kilt wearer should be familiar with. If for no other reason than to explain it to who will actually push a needle and wield an iron on their kilt.

I've only recently been learning how to do this and found your explanation to be very helpful. I have one further question: do you press on both sides of the pleats?

Thanks,
Jonathan
