First XKilt is complete and in the washing machine...

If you can consider embroidering on the fabric, then you can use a kilt pin....

True. The only thing I was worried about was repeated application of the pin causing damage to the fabric, since the weave is so fine. I think I'll take a closer look to see if the buttonhole idea is feasible. If it works, I'll owe you a mug of your favorite hopped and malted beverage whenever we meet.

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm going to futz with the under-apron pleat just a bit, but yeah, I'm a perfectionist.

I'd considered doing a magnetic pin, but again will have to play with it at some point. I'm strongly considering the suggestion given below (making buttonholes and threading the pin through them).

And now, for my next trick, I've been gathering the materials for an ISporran over the last week or so. I think I'll see how much of it I can get done tonight.

After putting a small hole in a hand crafted kilt because of a kilt pin, I have converted all of my kilts (save one of the still water heavy weights) to using magnets. It is an easy conversion and if you use an epoxy and stainless steel washer, fairly painless.

The magnets I use are from lee valley tools located here Lee Valley Tools
the nice thing is that the magnet adds additional weight and I have yet to lose a pin after conversion.
