Stitched pleat edge thread tends to try to shrink the edge length, making rumples at the edge if you don't tug and stretch them out while still damp. The TDKs aprons have a triple row of stitching around the apron edges and so they need a really good tug and one ounce weighted pins to prevent rumpling and causing the under apron pleats to want to splay from a shortened apron edge.
I have several TDKs, and HAVEN'T followed that procedure, just washed, tumble dry until damp, and then hangup, and I have not seen any rumpling.
