Very nice indeed . I love your pleating choice .

Thanks everyone. If this passes muster at all it's because of all the help and encouragement I've gotten from BarbT! Now it's on to a box-pleat in regimental weight Black Watch.....

Well done. 8 kilts? It's an addiction.

Wow, that looks great. So now you can start on #9

Thanks Mike! Thought I had 4 yds of Black Watch which would have meant a box pleat but it turns out I have 8 yds so now I have to rethink #9. Scottish Wildcat tartan should be here by the end of March so #10 is in the pipeline as well.....

I'm green with envy and proud for you. What plans for the pleats of the Black Watch and Wildcat tartan, stripe or sett?

The Black Watch is looking like it will be a knife pleat now, probably to the stripe (single black tram line on blue). The Wildcat is a total toss-up right now. I've learned through hard experience not to have a pre-set idea of how I'm going to pleat a tartan before I actually have it in hand. Almost every time time I thought I knew how I was going to pleat a tartan I've changed my mind after doing other test pleatings and seeing what they looked like.
