It's not in how you 'hide' the stitching, it's how good your stitcher is. And, obviously, you found a good'un.
My mother once told me of how my father's mother used to hem white pillow cases with red thread just to show it could be done without any red showing. No matter how many times she saw it happen Mom was awed. No lines to hide the stitch there. I suppose the same could be done with a kilt if you know what you're doing.
