Enlarged Sett

[creagdhubh]

My large sett Hunting MacMillan kilt has a sett size of about 14". The kilt is pleated to the yellow stripe on the black, which occurs twice per sett, making the pleats appear about every 7".

I had to really play around with the threadcount, though, in order to get it to work out this way. With the Chattan tartan you could either pleat to stripe-red-stripe-red-stripe,etc. or minimize the red in the tartan while maximizing the stripes portion and then pleat to the leading stripe of the striped portion and the trailing stripe of the first portion. That may be hard to imagine, so I'll try come up with a visual.

Thanks for your help and advice, David. It is much appreciated. This is precisely why I mentioned you and your Hunting MacMillan kilt, because you have been down this road before; albeit, it was quite obviously a different tartan, yet the overall process is much the same.
