    If all that embroidery is to be done by machine, you/she'd be better off to do the embroidery before you sew up the kilt, and especially if the bottom of the kilt is to be hemmed. I'd recommend sewing a liner over the entire embroidered apron (not just up at the waist) to protect the inside of the embroidery.
    I used to work in a screen printing-embroidery shop and have learned these kinds of things the hard way.
    I like the idea, and am looking forward to seeing it completed. All she'll need then are some black hose with orange flames worked into them.
    Hmmm......

    Having met Bethany and having seen the extreme ease with she can hurl incredibly heavy pieces of metal with deadly accuracy I suggest that if Bethany wants a kilt then by golly you should get her a kilt!

    You should also see if she wants to join XMTS

    I bet our other Highland athletes would love to have her on board

    Cheers

    I have vigorously promoted X Marks with the local athletes, to minimal success. *sigh*
