The steamer has a clip on crease attachment that pressed the pleats rather nicely. I let it air dry over night and it was ready for service, again. That was EASY!
At your suggestion, Mael Coluim, I bought a steamer with a pleat attachment. I have fooled around with it and I think this will be helpful for all my garments, as well as, the kilts. I do have trouble putting water in it, but that is my defect. I will use the funnel I use to put water in my iron when I use the thing next.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
