MacBean tartan pleated to the sett question

[Steve Ashton]

When selecting the thread to sew the pleats, one way to select the color is to look closely at the color of the yarn that goes down the edge of the pleat. If your stitches are kept small they will occur in every other yarn and be invisible.



If you have to choose between two colors, most kiltmakers will advise picking the slightly darker color.

Look closely to the examples by Barb. Her stitches are totally invisible.
