    Yes - good! That's a better sett size.

    With the larger sett size, I can't see any "red flags" from a kiltmaker's perspective. It will pleat fine to the stripe. If you want to use something like Photoshop to see if you will like the "look" of it pleated to the stripe, be sure to make the pleats "to scale" - roughly 3/4" across. Taper them a little to make sure that you like the look of the taper. See my comments toward the bottom of the first page as well as on the second page in the following post:

    Personally, I love the colors in your first sample. Somewhat akin to weathered Maple Leaf, one of my favorites. Bang-up job.
