Belted Plaid pleating tips and tricks?

[llyd]

lay out a good piece of cotton duck on a clean floor....pleat your plaid up the way you want it so that it ends up centered on the canvas....press the pleats with a steam.iron...just press...down up and move, now you can roll your plaid up and not have to fool with it so much...just fold the edges of the canvas over the plaid like you ar making a burrito and roll it up lenghtwise....bonus...keeps out moths.

I don't know how big you are, but that sounds like alot of material to stuff into a plaid...you might consider a smaller one....ultimately it is all your call though.
