Barb-thanks for the pics.I've been laying mine on a table and leaning over it.That looks a lot easier on the back.

Barb,

Thanks for the pics. That gives me a better idea of what it looks like. Great pics too, very well made.

It _is_ much easier on the back than bending over a table, but, more importantly, having the fabric clamped under your leg gives you something to pull against so that you can avoid wobbly pleats. Makes it much easier to achieve a smooth taper and straight stripes.

I'll tell Dave you like the photos! He's a commercial photographer, and he really knows what he's doing.

I'd like to compliment and thank Alan for sharing the blow-by-blow description of his efforts and Barb for generously sharing part of her technique (and she's a Mac user!!!).

Nice thing about this group is the sharing in pursuit of a common goal: the preservtion and proliferation of the kilt.
