Ancient Lochaber Reverse Kingussie kilt

Hey Barb,
Can you give me any hints on the best way to remove the basting stitches?

Very carefully, and BEFORE you enjoy that tasty beverage in your avatar photo.

Get a blunt knitting needle, and just slip the needle under each stitch and pull it out. When the thread gets kind of long as you're pulling it out, snip it off as you go to make it easier.

I commonly use a cable needle because it's so easy to hold in the middle:

Very smart! Gorgeous sett. Well done again, Barb. What's the yardage on this kilt?

Annnnnnnnnd, its on! By the way.....Thomas O'Malley say's thank you for the brown paper to shred ;) One very comfortable, and just an OUTSTANDING kilt. I'm VERY happy with my purchase from you. I love how the reverse Kingussie has a more form fitted appearance to it, its a joy to wear already. Can't wait to order some custom argyle hose to go with it.

Congratulations Cole welcome to the Tewksbury Owners Club!!!

**CMcG** · 22nd May 14, 02:36 PM

Them's some real nice pleats!

**plaid preacher** · 22nd May 14, 02:40 PM

Looks good Cole. I couldn't help but notice the can of WD-40 in one of the photos. Did you use it on the kilt? Does it help the pleats siwng better? Enquiring minds want to know.
