    I know....we'll call it a carefully controlled scientific test. When the thread comes apart, I'll let you all know.

    Why didn't I buy the book???
    In the interest of saving you the trauma of seeing one of your beautifully crafted kilts (I know you're a perfectionist) fall apart before your very eyes, I am willing to offer it safe haven and hospice care upon my hips. I'm literally volunteering to "carry your burden!"

    Wow, what a generous offer. Let me finish attaching the waistband and I'll box it up for you.

    .........I shouldn't hold my breath!!!

    Seriously, you do beautiful work and I'm guessing the care you put into construction and the aftercare you afford your kilts, you have nothing to worry about. But henceforth, I'll be taking Barb's advise and avoiding the dual purpose and will spring for the Gutermann's.

    Semper Fi!

    Wow, I learned something new today. Thank you to all the wonderful DIYer's that weigh in here and save us less sewing-inclined people some major headaches! Guess its time to get some Guterman
