That's true, to me it would give me a wee sense of achievement, something I would be proud of, and3/4 meters, is that all you need, as in is that double width? I was thinking I would need roughly 8 meters, the websites are terrible for specifying, maybe I'm just as green as grass and need to read abit more and pick up the art of kiltmaking haha!
