Thanks, MDR!
The trick is, I only have 126 inches of fabric to start with, and the plaid pattern be damned I want the thing to hang right.

This will be my third kilt making and the process I've got OK. Without my blindstitch foot, though, I'd not even try.

As of the moment, I think I got it. Through tinkering and consulting the other kilts I have, especially my USAKilt, because Rocky has locked down a simple, clean and quick design I really envy.

That's my task right now- get good enough to knock out a new kilt in about 4 hours. Think I'm getting there.
