5 Yard Knife-Pleated Kilt in Braveheart Warrior (Marton Mills Jura)
I just pulled the trigger on a 5 yard wool kilt, and the kiltmaker insisted that it would be best to pleat this to the sett. I know that an 8 yard kilt in this tartan would look stunning pleated that way. But I was wondering if, because of the lower yardage, it would be necessary to pleat to the line. I've read Barbara Tewksbury's book, and I understand how kilts are made. My own judgement says to pleat to the line. Is there enough cloth to pleat to the sett? Can anyone help me with a mathematical model?
