My wife liked my new Thompson Camel box-pleat so much that she wants me to order some more PV and make a skirt for her. I'd be interested in seeing how skirt instructions differ from what I've already done...so I guess there's another hand!

And just let me digress a moment to second what Alan H said in his "rant". I didn't know how to thread the machine when I started, either. Wonderful wife helped me with that hurdle, and now there's no looking back. 5 X-kilts and a tartan box-pleat done so far...and I'd never sewn anything before in my life. You can do it!!!

And yet another big THANK YOU to Alan H for all the time he's invested in this project.
