Using cheap interfacing...<grrrr>
Hi everyone,
I've just had to pull my purchased kilt apart to replace the horribly cheap interfacing that was utilized by the kilt maker!
I'm also going to be replacing the cheap lining material.
It's so frustrating that I have to do this because the kilt maker decided to use what could almost be called osnaburg for interfacing.
I just wore my kilt for a Tartan Day event. I was getting ready to put it away when I noticed the wool stretching and deforming due to the cheap interfacing!
Luckily I'm a kilt maker and have a nice steamer, so after removing the straps, buckles, interfacing and lining, I was able to steam the plaid back into shape. Now I'll spend the rest of the afternoon replacing the interfacing and the lining.
Please, if you're going to spend the time and effort to make a kilt, make sure you use good interfacing that won't stretch or deform. That will guarantee that your kilt will wear well for many years to come.
Cheers!
