Regarding working with tartans, particularly worsted wool---try it. The sooner you try it, the sooner you'll realize what a fabulous fabric it is to work with. Check out Fraser and Kirkbright---right now they've got five meters of Saskatchewan tartan on sale. http://www.wooltartan.com/tartans5.htm

You will LOVE working with worsted wool. When I got into kilting, I was convinced--convinced!---that there had to be something better than wool. I worked with denim and poly-cotton blends and, umm, some even sillier stuff. Then I tried worsted wool (and tweed), and I'm a changed man.

You got your skillz on!
Thank you very much for the complim ents and the info. That website is great.

Denim was not too too bad to handle. Although, it was harder to push/pull the needle through. My arm really got a good workout. Yes, my arm and not just my hand. Try a pinching motion with your thumb and pointing finger and press the fingers against each other--- you'll see muscles moving between the wrist and the elbow :-)
