At it, again...

I'd forgotten that the Marton Mills PV doesn't have a finished selvedge, so I pondered the option of leaving the fringed edge like USA Kilts does, but decided to tuck up a little hem instead.

Small point of clarification... we no longer allow any kilts to go out with a frayed selvedge. They're either properly hemmed (blind hem so no stitches show) or have a tuck selvedge edge. No more fringed selvedges on finished kilts.

This is a big change, and a good one, I think.

I have to admit that I wish that my sewing machine had a respectable blind stitch setting.

This particular kilt is primarily for throwing, and VERY secondarily for hitting the pub in, so I just tucked the "ragged" selvedge under about 3/8 of an inch and stitched it down. Nobody will care, on the field and nobody will even notice from more than 8 feet away.

I figure Mike will wear his lovely Scottish wool Golden Holyrood "8-yard" kilt for anything where he has to look respectable.
