    Can you take a photo of the fabric showing the long edge. That is the selvedge edge that does not need a hem.

    Can you tell us the width of this fabric and how old it is?

    Add to your list of possibilities Kathy Lare in Albuquerque. www.kathyskilts.com lovely lady, trained in Scotland. I've purchased a dozen of her hand sewn kilts. Many were from fabric provided to her. She hand sewed my X Marks the Scot tartan kilt. She has sewn some from Dalglish mills too.

    I will try to get a picture.

    The fabric was woven in 2019. It is a bit over 54" wide.
