I think you'd find a much easier time of it.
Matt,

I double checked trhe measurements this morning

The width is 61" (which is good) but the length is actually 7.2 yards !

It makes me feel better that perhaps the extra 3+ yards of material was the likely the problem.

Since this isn't my fabric I'm not going to cut it.

However I will keep an eye out at the fabric store and see if someday I can find a suitable bit of wool or wool blend tartan cloth in the right size.

And give it another try

Cheers

Jamie :ootd:
