In general, adhesive is not the preferred method.
If the adhesive is used to temporarily tack something in place, like using a pin or basting, and the piece is then sewn just like normal, then it can be ok.
But the adhesive is not permanent and should not be used in place of stitching.
You seem to be using two different terms in your second 'problem' though.
The term 'selvedge' means an edge to fabric that does not un-ravel. this term is usually used to mean the bottom edge of the kilt. A kilt made from kilt fabric does not require a folded up 'hem'.
The word 'fringe' is usually used to mean the right edge of the outer apron.
Which do you mean? Would it be possible for you to post a photo so we don't stumble over words?
And can you tell us the maker of the kilt?

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
