Pleating issues w/ new tartan

[Pleater]

You could try making fewer pleats per sett, as you must have got a lot of 3 inch deep pleats with 26 ft of fabric - or at least I'd have thought so.

I've made kilts with pieced together fabric for the under apron - and it did work.

I think I still have a couple, but if you are lucky with how the pattern falls and sew the seams carefully it really isn't all that obvious - I have a repair to make on one kilt which snagged and broke a seam that I had forgotten was there, and I had ironed and pressed it without noticing.

Oh - I just realised - that is brithwe Dewi Sant - which way to the strong colour bands go on the kilt, down or across?
