X Marks Tartan order update

Makes sense!! LOL

Actually I think that both approaches make sense. they get to similar answers, but in fact that's not really the point I was getting at.

All I want to say is that if we/me/we were assuming that the sett is nine inches, and now it's going to be a lot closer to six inches, we should each review our options for our kilt(s) accordingly. I'm getting a box pleated kilt, so it's no worry. Others who may want knife pleated kilts should review their plans. There may be no change whatsoever, but it'd be a serious bummer if someone got a surprise late in the game...that's all.

Alan,

I agree. The size of the sett can make a huge difference and must be taken into account. For example, I'm about to receive eight yards of tartan with a 15" sett. That's right, *fifteen* inches. Now that takes some creative kilt-making, I'll tell you (but Barb knew the trick and was happy to pass it on - it'll be pleated to the stripe and I'll be able to get 29 small pleats out of that for a very "traditional" knife-pleated kilt).
