Hemming a kilt....

[Bugbear]

I'm not qualified to answer your questions, but in the thread that Kilted in Maine provided the link to, Barb T. does state that the best stitch to use on a kilt's hem is the herringbone or catch stich. It is a zig-zag looking thing that only catches a thread or two on the outside of the kilt at it's top and crosses down to the turned over side of the fabric then repetes. A blind hem is strait and not zig-zag, and will be more likely to leave a visible ridge on the outside of the kilt.

Good luck.
