Adjusting Kilt Length? URGENT

[fluter]

Wonderful advice. Now, the one I need 2" shorter is a Stillwater standard. I suppose that makes it acrylic...

Does the same advice still hold true, except maybe pressing with a lot cooler iron?

That's right, Dan. Since the Stillwaters come in one length, doing a hem is pretty commonplace.

In my experience, the SWK fabric has a decent selvedge, so you don't want to cut it. Just fold once & hem. The herringbone stitch is illustrated here by Barb.

For extra credit, you can turn up an extra 3/8 inch at the corner of the under-apron and the fold of the deep pleat, as Barb mentions above. Go ahead and undo the facings to make it pretty: it'll be worth it.
