Thinking about exact meaning of "remnants" word

[Rex_Tremende]

Fabric remnants are usually the last remaining lengths of fabric on the bolt, usually sold at a discount because they are often not long enough for most common sewing projects. 10 meters would not be a remnant.

What Barb means is that you could find some shorter length of inexpensive, throw-away fabric to practice your techniques before you take the chance and ruin the real thing.

Good luck,
Rex.

I understand. Was said about F&K from http://www.wooltartan.com/tartans5.htm where i see remnants as large as 50m. That's why i have thoughts on meanings. And that's not first kilt i've ever made, so 10$ fabric is ok. But if for first - 4$ fabric definitely acceptable too.
Main problem on fabrics for me - it's hard to find good inexpensive tartan fabric here in siberia.
