A Great Kilt or Belted Plaid

It is ALWAYS wise to really look at old portraits VERY CAREFULLY, as it is truly amazing as what may be found.

Thanks for the great information!

Caradoc - good point about not stitching in the pleats. I think I will leave that alone especially since Pleater has revealed a great alternative. I had a hard time at first visuallizing the proceedure until way2fractious and jjoseph posted.

This team approach just goes to illustrate again the collective power of XMarks. Thanks.

I had a few minutes to try pleating the fabric on the floor and belting in on by following some pictures on a website. I think it will take a few more tries to get the hang of it.

Cheers! Bill
