Thanks to everyone for their idea and suggestions. I will direct my wife to the comments and we will plan from there. When you don't know where to start...ask someone thats done it!

Thanks...

This is another reason we are looking to rail north. I may tempt Dallas traffic at 5:00pm on occasion but I understand London traffic would be totally different.

The idea is to rent a car in...

My wife wants to do a rail trip and flying into London will give us a chance to rail north and then rail back taking in the country side and then spend a few days in London before heading back.

My wife and I have been trying to plan a trip to Scotland later this year. The 'loose plan' is to fly into London, take the rail north and drive. There are many levels of thought on this (hers and...

K PASTA JIMMY!!!! Long time no hear....hope you are well.

Well, I own 2 as well as the 25 non Scottish made. Had them for 23 years and still looks like new with great care. Purchased them in 1984...

In all honesty I must say that I don't make all my kilts. I have 5 kilts which have been purchase but I have made over 15 kilts within the past 9 months. Some I wear in public and some are not worth...

DITTO! Also, did some non-distructive reverse engeneering from a traditional kilt and semi-traditional (see Rocky). PLUS A LOT OF MISTAKES (hint:keep a seam ripper close!).

Richard-

This was one of my thoughts when I made the suggestion. This is not to rule out Jimmy, Rocky or anyone else makeing their own version with their techniques.

While I don't believe everyone will...

Barb, Jimmy, Rocky etc.... Has anyone researched a kiltmakers DVD? I know DVD's with books are becoming popular just wondering it any plans are in the works?

Richard-

Sorry, I forgot to put that in. 59inch width.

I have made 3 orders with Marton Mills. I am very sastified in their fabric and service. I have ordered 6 PV and 1 wool tartans (Murry,MacPherson,Warrior,Holyrood,Campbell,Black Stweart and Texas...

Jimmy, thought you had fallen off the face of the earth! Good to hear your still alive. Also having some minor issues with aprons. But just trying to work through them.

Richard-

I agree on the hand stitching. I have 2 kilts made about 25 years ago and the work is amazing.

I will try the 'tighten up' more plus I have lengthened the stitch about 1/2 more on the dial and...

I did buy the 'extra' lifter foot (suppose to come down on the top piece of fabric while the foot lifts to create a "clamping" action). This works about 1 out of 5 stitches. This is a new machine so...

Been there and did that and got the 9 camo kilts in the closet to prove it!

Trying my hand at tartan PV now.

Richard-

I am working on the 3rd machine made kilt with PV material. I have a continual problem which has been present on the previous 2. Matching up fabric strips AFTER machine sewn! I have tried different...

I've made around 20 'sports' kilts...well, OK, only 13 were really wearable! I found that a 2 inch visible pleat worked good for these. The secret of this was a 6 inch back pleat and a 4 inch top...

I wanted to remind everyone that there is a new round of Phishing
e-mails going around. I got one today from PAYPAL requesting I go to a
site listed/linked in the e-mail and confirm all my...

I ran across the site last night and commented to my wife on it. Looks great.

Richard-

Have one in my 'Rocky/Kelly' collection also. Enjoy having it in the 'rotation'.

Richard-

I have been informed that this not not a Gunn only event!

Actually I've never know a TRUE GUNN only event...They kinda like to party and the more there are the better it gets, especially if there...
