After washing and ironing again to make it soft and shiny I simply re wrap around the pole spray it with water let it dry and you get your pleats back. I've even wrapped and pleated at craft fairs, people find it fascinating to watch it come out all pleated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980372915848790151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573603501517438763.post-31400255348312651902014-02-04T05:31:19.683-08:002014-02-04T05:31:19.683-08:00I have not tried this, but supposedly Setacolor ca...I have not tried this, but supposedly Setacolor can be heat set by placing in the oven at 300 degrees for 5 minutes. Since you won't be washing the scarf (the pleats will fall out), I'd think this would work pretty well! Silk really picks up greases and oils easily, though, so I'd put it on a new, unused cookie sheet with a layer of parchment paper between it and the pan. Let me know how it works!Deborah Schlegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587353720429282403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573603501517438763.post-11453987535215109942014-02-04T00:12:20.777-08:002014-02-04T00:12:20.777-08:00I want to keep the pleats.
