Me too - that's my rule as well for full-on alterations. I silill do buckles and hems although even that can be unpleasant - you would not believe the stench that rises from some kilts that isn't apparent until you start pressing the kilt....I now inquire at least whether the person is a smoker or has worn the kilt in places where people smoke. If the answer is yes, I send them elsewhere even for buckles.
