Just a hint. Most people today will not blindly click an unknown link. In this day and age that is just not a good idea..

OK Rab1, the vBulletin software that X Marks uses requires that you insert images within "Image Brackets" "[image]".
These may be from your home computer, but better yet from an on-line image...

I use a slightly different method than Anne. I try to get the tension on each stitch as close to the same as I am capable. I am more concerned with even stitch tension than I am with tight stitches....

The second or bottom layer of fabric does not need to be caught by the Fell stitching. You need that second layer to sort of float inside the kilt. That is the part that you cut-away inside.
...

When hand-stitching a kilt I am not inventing anything new. I use the same techniques, methods and materials as a Saville Row Tailor. Just not as skillfully.

There are very few places where...

I use a total of only four stitches to make a kilt.

The Fell Stitch as described earlier.

The Pad Stitch also described earlier.

When stitching pleats - due to the way I support the weight of the kilt on a table in front of me because I stitch left-handed - I always stitch in the direction from the hips to the waist. This...

I use the same 100% Polyester Gutterman brand thread that Barb uses. It is thin so hides well is very strong and is available in a huge range of colors.
I have seen kilts sewn with a thicker...

I then do one other thing differently than Barb. I machine stitch my interfacing and stabilizer into one unified piece.
Then pad stitch that one piece into the kilt.

My interfacing and...

Now, I am predominantly Left-Handed so I do things a little differently than Barb does. I do not keep the kilt in my lap with the un-stitched fabric away from my body. I reverse this with the kilt...

I'm not sure that I would agree that the methods presented in "The Art of Kiltmaking", or TAoK for short, cannot be applied to repairs.
I have made many kilts from scratch and repaired many kilts. ...

It sure would help us, help you, if you could post a few photos of the kilts and the problems you are experiencing.

Peter, you are infinitely more knowledgeable on Highland Dress than I am.

But I know history and history shows us that knitting is very old. Knitted footwear is old. Knitted stockings are old. ...

I was simply replying to the original question -

Those who could afford hose, did they only have hose sewn from...

That may very well be true. But it is well documented that everywhere else knit stockings were the norm.

Knitting , crochet, nailbinding etc. go back almost as far as humans. Certainly before we began recording history.
The National Museums of Scotland has an artifact knitted sock that goes back...

The way it was explained to me is that the period between the Crimean war and WWI was a time of great change in the wearing of the kilt. Before, there was little standardization in how a kilt was...
