Pleating challenge #3: pleating an asymmetric tartan

[Barb T]

Kind of depends on what you mean. If you mean that you have a double width of fabric that you want to join at the back matching the tartan and the twill _and_ the selvedge, then, no, you can't. If you're willing to put a hem in the kilt, then, yes, you can match the twill line and the tartan, provided that the tartan doesn't have too big a sett and your kilt isn't really long.

Does that explanation make sense?

That's exactly the answer I was hoping for, thank you very much!
