Advice on Repairing Pleats and Thread Question

[Steve Ashton]

Now, I am predominantly Left-Handed so I do things a little differently than Barb does. I do not keep the kilt in my lap with the un-stitched fabric away from my body. I reverse this with the kilt laid on a table in front of me and the un-stitched fabric towards my body.



It is not the stitching of the pleats that give the strength to the kilt.
The internal interfacing and stabilizer are what give all the strength to the Garment.

The interfacing and stabilizer are stitched into the inside of the kilt using a pad stitch.



The pleat stitching does not go through the interfacing and the interfacing stitching does not go through to the outside of the kilt.
