    Hey, that's a brilliant idea! Never thought o that, actually. Which is why I enjoy peaking into this forum. Thanks for the suggestion bro!

    No problem. Check out this thread that Barb posted on doing just that thing: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-stripe-32855/
    Just remember that when splitting a stripe, it's important to keep it symmetrical. Obviously, the narrower the stripe, the more obvious it will be if the edge wavers. If the stripe is 4 threads wide and you're splitting it in two, if it wavers by one thread, it will be obvious.

    Very impressive. Kudos for pleating to the sett and love the box pleats too.
