Hello Debbie
I knit and sew all sorts of things and the secret of making a kilt seems to be accuracy in aligning and gently distorting the straight threads of the fabric.
If you have 'the book' then every part of the process is described, and following it should result in a fine garment - but I find that I need to put on my reading glasses and sometimes use a pair of magnifying ones to see that the stitching runs along the right line - though now I am over 60 the eyesight is not what it was.
If you have any problems this forum has a number of highly skilled kiltmakers, including the author herself and help should be forthcoming if requested.
