Hello -
First time kilt maker here. I'm following TAoK with four yards of double-width MM PV Holyrood. I really love the cloth, but the tiny threads mean that the distances between stripes is very small. The sett size is not that small (6.5 inches), but all the stripes are concentrated in just over half of the sett. I had been dead-set on pleating this kilt to the stripe, but can't seem to find a stripe where I won't have lines or color borders disappearing up into the waist as it tapers.

I did notice that I could pleat to a double stripe (white and green/yellow), but it would have two different undercheck colors exposed (with one color border that wouldn't disappear). Will it look very odd to have the two different undercheck colors in the pleat reveal? Pinning it up, it looks ok to me, but I would bet I'm missing something here.

Thanks for any input!
