    A box pleat is more difficult than A knife pleat. However, 8 to 10 box pleats are much easier than 25 to 30 knife pleats. :-)

    30? My kilts have been about 33 pleates. I figure it is about 2000 stitches just for the pleats.

    Barb, Love the kilt, but...but... what about the traditional kilt, thought you were a devout traditional knife kilter. Nice to see that you are breaking out.

    She just made a traditional kilt. As the box pleated kilt was standard fare c. 1790s up to the mid-1800s, it's very traditional.

    M.A.C, I knew you would respond with the box pleat being the "traditional" kilt. Just couldn't wait for your reply. Thanks for not dissapointing me.
