sett vs stripe

[lorilavon]

Thank you all for the great info and history on pleating!

I think we're leaning toward knife pleating to the sett, despite the fact that it's "newer" compared to box pleating, for a few reasons:

1) I already purchased 4 yards of the 16 oz tartan (double width).
2) We kind of like the "swoosh" of the knife pleats
3) I like the idea of preserving the aesthetic of the sett throughout the pleats (along with the fact that this tartan doesn't have any one stripe that is asking for attention)
4) For what it's worth, we like the idea that this is the most common style in Scotland right now (compared to stripe knife-pleated in the US).
If you have any more thoughts on this, keep them coming! I'm learning so much!
