attaching the waistband

[Dutch piper]

Hi,

How important is it, to have the waistband attached firmly over the top edge of the kilt?
In order to get the tartan in the waistband in a straight line, I have a few parts of the waistband where I still have some space left. So the waistband sits a bit loose over the top edge.
Nothing disturbingly but I just wondered if this gives the top edge enough room to unravvel under the waistband?
Or will the single-line stitching of the Canvas keep it from unravveling?

regards,
Tómmes

Here's an image of the attached waistband.

Looks fine to me - as long as the top band is stitched on securely and encloses the raw top edge of the kilt, there isn't any way for the top to ravel.
