sew fell up or down

[Howard Clark]

I think it was a joke...

If you use curved pins, other wise I'd baste it. Start from the bottom, and holding the material in front and behind the foot you are going to pull the material tight/snug as it travels under the presser foot, other wise you will get a little pucker in the top material when you get to the top, ( no matter how well you pin/baste). It's abit tricky at first so warm up on some scrap first. Good luck! And if all else fails int:

If you are not careful you'll mess up the fit. I've tried this twice and had to rip out all the stitches until I wised up. Have someone pin the pleats down at the bottom of the fell while you are wearing said kilt. Otherwise it will never hang right. Since there is so little taper in it already if you just pin it while it's lying on the tabe you'll end up with a stove pipe, and the aprons will pull mightily when you put it on.
