Sett is a term used to define the pattern before it repeats itself, in other words blocks of colour repeat vertically and horizontally in a distinctive pattern of squares and lines known as a "sett".
One can pleat to a sett, meaning you pleat in a fashion that the sett pattern is repeated across the back of the kilt. Depending on the tartan the sett may vary in size before repeating 7-10 inches.

Sett size can vary quite a bit more than that, actually. Commercially woven kilting tartan has setts ranging in size from under 5" to more than 15". 6-9" setts are the most common.
