Thank you for the information. I am attaching another pic of the tartan. Its a little further away, just wanted you to see the bigger pic. Would your advice still be the same, & what would your advice be on possibly doing box pleats? I found & printed out the supplement to your book on box pleats. After reading it & seeing how they turn out, I actually like those better. They look more formal to me. If you feel they would be harder, I will follow your instruction.
