Hair canvas

[Pleater]

For my first kilt in DPM I used a strip of webbing that is similar, though probably heavier than your stabiliser, and that has been very sucessful.

I am trying to remember what I did with the rest of it so l can put it into more kilts.

You need to press that area of your kilt at a temperature the webbing can take, if it contains a man made fibre it will go crispy, or worse, if overheated. That means even if it is underneath other materials.

I still recall with horror the time I decided to press an errant pleat on a cotton kilt and melted a Nylon belt - luckily onto the iron, not the kilt.

Thanks! Good point. I must not forget this. Otherwise I do believe it's good replacement for hair canvas. And certainly can be washed on 40 deg. C. I was looking for hair canvas, but older sales ladies in shops did remember to have it far, far ago. this ribbon is very cheap (0.9 EUR for 2m).

Will post some pics when my kilt is finished in separate thread.
