I'm either gonna have to use more pins or hand sew this !&#^#%#@$@( pleat.

color me "annoyed".

[Alan H]

You know why this isn't going well?

I know.

It's because it's tartan, not plain twill or camo, and I'm doing most of the work on it in the mornings, and not drinking any whisky while I sew.

Like, *duh*

Alan, you merely need to resort to that tried-and-true method of holding fabrics in place temporarily - basting! Better than pins in situations like this.

I've never understood this. Won't it just make the pleats soggy?

[turpin]

not if you baste with lanolin.

But the crispy skin after roasting is worth the extra effort!

Krispy Kilts?!

Krispy Kilts?!

Is that the new franchise place down at the strip mall?

Yum!

[pipesndrumsnun]

Good luck!

The fell is 8 inches. All the other pleats have lined up acceptably...not PERFECTLY, but quite acceptably. This one refuses. How can two stripes in a pleat be lines up just fine, but the one that's higher up be a full 1/4 inch off?

*snarl*

No biggie. I only have to hand-sew maybe all of about 9 inches of pleats. Not a big deal. But I reserve the right to be annoyed about it.
