    If it's Lochcarron Strome, then the 'good side' IS the twill running this direction: ////

    If it's ANY OTHER kind of tartan fabric, then the twil should be going this direction: \\\

    I spoke to Doug, the sales manager for Lochcarron, and he explained (in great detail) how they do their selvedge and that on their Strome (16 oz wool) fabric, the selvedge comes out backwards, but on every other line of their fabrics (Brareach, reiver, etc) and any other mill's fabric, they do it the 'regular' direction.

    I've thought about using the shaver for that exact purpose... glad to see it worked! I'll have to go pick one up.
