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

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:

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.
