You've done a fine job on the pleats - you should be proud of your work!

As far as the steeking question goes, I know that I'm too late to give any advice for your work, but, for anyone else who's interested, the idea is to stitch through as many layers as you can to stabilize the cut-out part of the pleats (to keep them from sagging), _without_ catching in the outside layer of the pleats. If you even do a little catch-in, you'll have a dimple on the outside of the kilt that won't press out no matter how hard you try.
Thank you for your compliments ! I did have some help with the steeking from a fellow XMarker So I wasn't lost ;).

My respect for profesional kilt makers is deffinately growing throughout this experience.
