I keep the larger part of the pin, what would be the bottom when worn horizontally, toward the outside edge of the apron. Hope this helps.
Rob, Thanks for your thoughts on this. Like you, I have tried pinning it both horizontally and vertically, but neither seems very satisfactory - if only the pin could have been located centrally we might not be raising these queries. I have not tried it yet, but my thinking is that I need to fix a small block of wood or some other lightweight material (not metal, the entire thing is heavy enough already!), matching the depth of the fixing pin, and positioned to hold the face of the "X" away from the fabric. However, as I type this, I am thinking that the effect of the overall weight will still be sufficient to push the fabric one way or another. What I have not done, is to wear it on a 'Strome' weight kilt - maybe the fabric will resist the weight of the pin! Oh, well, it is something to help while away the long winter evenings to come!!!

PS: I am not too keen on having two or even three fixing pins on the back - think of the pin-hole damage that could be caused to the kilt! No, that's not for me!
