It was supposed to be a kilt tartan (in cotton) for a clan group. I was SHOCKED when I saw its size today!!

I WILL still use it (it'll be good practice, just not what I expected!!!)

The terminology lead me to expect a 6 inch stripe to stripe. Yet, it could make a decent box pleat. So, I will. It will STILL look better than some of the absolute CRAP I see at games!

This lead me to wonder if I understood the terminology correctly and so others could hear/read a SOLID explaination. Thereby, all the websites and users can be on the same page, especially us ametuer kiltmakers. If I could help ONE of us from making this same mistake, it is a tread well served!
