I have to tell you Scratchy's Lass, that I have the same anxiety you stated. I just recived Barb's book, read through it several times, purchased some wool "plaid" from Hancock's and ripped it to size and then realzed that there was a funky line at the selvage that was not repeated on the other edge. So I have been practicing sewing my pleats with the taper in (on that piece of fabric) and that is what I have found the most difficult to do so far. But like Barb said, all you have to do if rip it out and sew it over; not a big deal.
I resisted the temptation to start working on real tartan first and if I had, would be well on my way to my first finished kilt. But I have enjoyed it immensely and will soon order some real tartan for a kilt to make.
I do hope you enjoy the making of your first kilt as much as I know I will. And believe me, your man will be more than please to wear it I'm sure.
