^ Yeah I am planning on a solid color. I am planning on buying the cheapest cotton I can find for my first one. Then if I royally fubar it won't be a big deal. Sorry for being such a newbie but I am having a hard time finding the Xkilt pattern with knife pleats or revK pleats? Would I just take the instructions you just gave me and do that instead of the box pleat instructions on the xkilt instructions?
