Help with xkilt instructions

[Alan H]

What I did and what I am going to fix is I got rid of the deep pleat. I realize now that that thing is important. I just couldn't understand the directions of what to do with all that material. I still wish there were step by step photos of how to treat the over-apron.

I'm sorry, but the project is done. I mean, I've edited the thing twice and incorporated pictures in the second edition (which is actually the third edition) and spend hundreds of hours on the thing. By no means is the manual perfect, the whole thing about the under-apron strip is the usual hangup even though I totally changed it in this edition. Then again, it's free and there you go. I think you got a LOT more than what you paid for.

Besides, it's common to make a goof or two. I think I have yet to make a kilt that I didn't have to rip out SOMETHING and do it again!

Just to show you how difficult it is to write something like this perfectly....I am not sure which "deep pleat" you are referring to.

Is it the pleat that lies under the over-apron on the left side?

Is it the pleat that lies under the forward-facing edge of the first box pleat?

Both are important!
