Didn't mean to step on your thread, here, and hope that my comments are a reasonable contribution.

What method did you use to split the cloth?
You're not stepping on the thread at all, thats' exactly what this is here, for!

I bought the initial offering on ebay of 5 yards. I see another offering of 6 yards, so the seller obviously has whole bolt of it. The material itself is a nice wool twill. When it's done I'm going to really enjoy this kilt, but this stuff is a stinker to work with for a first-timer.

I'll say this, four or five yards of this stuff would make a **Great** absolutely fantastic Great Kilt for a good price.

OK, how'd I split it? Hang with me and I'll get to that.
