Sett Size

I usually pleat to the stripe, but using every stripe, either the white or the red, meant that there were too many rather small pleats, and every other stripe gave too few but deep pleats.

The option which gives a good number of decent sized pleats is to have the pleats alternate white and red stripes - which means I don't have to chose one over the other and the effect is rather pleasing, I think.....snip...

I finished a kilt recently that has a large sett , Smith, with a red and yellow alternate lines over a standard blue/black/green repeating unit.
I choose to pleat to alternate red and yellow line, I suspect similar to Anne's idea,the pleat depth is reasonable, and not so big, and ends with with an interesting arrangement I feel
