    Re: Saltire kilt's tartan??

    Sorry, Paul, I mis-spoke when I said "sewn in" and did indeed mean "woven in" to the fabric, but was just curious what the back side would look like.

    Fluter, you have far greater faith in my visualization and planning skills than I or the rest of the world have. If HoE has figured out an easy way to do it and market it why should I try to re-invent the wheel. Heck I am not even particularly fond of the saltire or rampant lion or thistle design kilts to begin with, so why should I expend the brainpower trying to find a novel way of doing something similar, when I could be playing Angry Birds instead?

    Re: Saltire kilt's tartan??

    Relevant to this discussion of how the Saltire kilts are created, there's a 50" Saltire kilt on Ebay just now, and you can see that the elements are spread out further apart than usual (there being gaps between all the "bars" of white), and that the Saltire doesn't extend the entire width of the back of the kilt, with a few ordinary pleats on each side past the end of the Saltire.
