Thanks Bear!
That last bit in your post was exactly the math I've been looking for. My first kilt was a solid pattern, so working to the sett is new to me, but getting the numbers down is the first step.

And the cloth is not Tartan. It's a remainder from a Ralph Lauren shop, of all places. Big blocky plaid I think intended for couches and curtains. Who said Scots are fashion plates? Much thanks!

Quite possibly. I have the habit on many projects of working from angles most people don't see. Sometimes a problem, maybe a blessing. Drives my Dad round the bend if he tries to 'supervise' too closely. I am pleating from the Inner Apron end toward the Outer.

As usual, the X Men are there to help a fellow.

X Marks aye!
