Re: 4 yard vs 8 yard
Hope you have some real strong needles! The denim kilts take some patience and a bit of machine coaxing with the hems and "fold-overs".
I have a pretty good sewing machine and a bit of experience with it. Even made my wife some denim cargo pants for work. I bought the machine about a year ago and ignored the bells and whistles. I went for the higher power motor. This one sews light leather easily and 6 layers of denim are a snap.The denim I'm using has been washed twice. Might sound like overkill but I've found some fabrics really do need double washing before being used both for shrinkage and dye bleed.
