Have a new Federal Memorial tartan kilt. Rocky scored the fabric and Kathy Lare sewed it up. Tartan is beautiful - designed by Dr. Smith. Honors Union veterans of the Civil War.

So I took pics and posted on the pic thread and Brooke comes back and asks what kind of pleating that is?

Hadn't paid attention...so I stare at it and its different for sure. Can't figure it out. This morning the light hit the pleats just right while the kilt is hanging on the door. Across the back I can now see it was pleated to the sett between two wide red lines, then right down the middle of the back its pleated to the stripe between the next wide red lines, then it goes back to pleated to the sett again.

Once I saw how its done...once I "get it" I love it. But I don't have a name for it. Emailed Kathy but nothing back yet. Wondering if the experts on this forum can help me properly describe it.

This isn't the best photo...but if you look at the wide red lines as the boundaries you can see it. Second pic is the one where Brooke spotted it...





Thanks for any wisdom.
