I would recommend cold gluing - the temperature at which the kilt would show some alteration in its texture and the temperature at which the glue melts could be too close for comfort, plus there would be some pressure from the iron - I would not risk it.

You might like to glue on small patches simply to keep the melted edges of the hole off your skin, if they are likely to impact.

Personally I have avoided 100 percent acrylic fabrics, choosing to use sturdier fabrics in non tartan patterns, or plain black, as all acrylic fabrics I have used tend to look OK for a while but then start to age rapidly.

I might be somewhat prejudiced as I make a lot of my clothes and having put in the effort I want them to last a good while.

I do have a couple of things which are over 40 years old, and many which are in their third decade, so you should understand that I seek a far greater amount of permanence than many people.
