Aha, Alan! So you bought that bit of tartan yardage! I was interested in it at first glance because of its resemblance to the Red Robertson, but of course, on closer inspection, it's not. I was looking at it for great kilt material, and appreciate knowing of the "inconsistencies" in the pattern of the sett. Didn't mean to step on your thread, here, and hope that my comments are a reasonable contribution.

What method did you use to split the cloth?
