Pleating to the stripe or stripes.

The Hunting Stewart, when pleated to stripe, is almost always pleated this way, because of the extremely large size of the sett.

I've seen other tartans pleated to alternate stipes as well. It works no problem.

It DOES sound like it would be a very interesting effect!

Are you going to try it?

I've got a MacLeod Hunting (I think) that is pleated like that.

yellow - yellow - red - yellow - yellow - red - etc

Actually, that one's a Stewart Hunting.

This also works VERY well when you're doing a 5 yard kilt and need to "cheat the sett" to make the back of the kilt look nice.

Thanks Rocky - I can never keep them straight! I need to get better at reading tartans. I have them both, and I always forget which is which. One has the single yellow and the other the double. Oh sure, there are some other differences, but I don't remember.

Maybe I should label each tartan, as I am sure that I have told some people wrong, when they asked!
