Without bashing this company which seems to have a great reputation in service and quality for the dollar, Can you advise me on these? I would probably rather have a bear from what I have read, but I am interested in the Stillwater also, they appear pretty good in the pics on their site from my uneducated eye. http://stillwaterkilts.com But I must say that after reading some of tyour posts some of the pleats look crookd in this photo but perhaps that is just how it is laying???? What about what to do with the length???


Anyone dare to venture an opinion? You can send me a PM if you don't want your view public. I would not consider you a coward. Just circumspect. We don't need to offend them, but If they need some pointers to improve the quality then here is a good place I guess.
Look at the economy unit you will see it is already hemmed. I suggest you read the post on stillwater, with regards to the economy model. If you have to hem it as well that's an extra cost would that money get you the model up. It's like buying a car sometimes the luxury model gives the bigger bang for the buck.
