I take pride in our work, so if you have a specific complaint...contact me directly, rather than taking pot-shots from the weeds.
Just to further comment on that: one of my three clients having kilts made from this cloth asked if anyone had contacted you, Gordon, yet. I told him I did not know.
But I hope you'll forgive me for not contacting you directly. As I was not your customer here, I didn't think it to be my place. In this instance, my clients supplied their own cloth to me, which they purchased from Steve Ashton, which he had woven by yourself.
I recommended to the one who asked that if he wanted to get feedback to you that he first contact Steve, as he was Steve's customer, and then get Steve to talk with you -- as Steve was your direct customer. I thought this the most proper course of action for anyone who wanted to make a comment or complaint. I have no idea if he followed through with that, or decided that it wasn't a big enough deal to make an issue over.
The other two clients of mine haven't expressed (to me) any desire to make this into a big issue.
My main concern, first and foremost, is that my cleints are happy with their kilts. If they are okay, I'm okay. :-) If they didn't think this was a huge deal, then I wasn't going to make a fuss over it.
Again, I'm only discussing this on the forum because my name has been brought up and I felt the need to clairfy what I saw as the main issue before the rumor weeds took over!
All the best!
Matt

Barb emailed me about this on May 8th, she explained the problem and was kind enough to include a picture.
I got the option...hem or a "bleeding" stripe...I'll have to live with the bleeding stripe since I don't want a hem, but it would be much nicer without this problem of course
This is the picture I received...hope Barb don't mind I posted it.

That's it? That's what we're worrying about? Yeesh.
My jonesing for my 5 yards next month is not diminished at all.

I agree fully!

I noticed this when I first got my yardage and figured it was just due to the turn over selvedge process. I took a look at Hamish's pictures and saw that his kilt looked much the same, selvedge-wise, and decided then and there not to worry about it at all.
I have about 6 pleats out of 27 left to sew. YAY!

Thanks for the informative picture Robin (& Barb).
It helps clarify exactly what folks are talking about.
I agree with a few other posters that it does not appear to be a "big" issue. I think that it may be noticeable if you "set to stripe" with the bottom white stripe a lil' bit different the rest.
for discloser purposes...I'm part of the 2nd run of the 2nd run
Cheers

Of course it's not the end of the world, but nonetheless...it looks somewhat sloppy and it could have been avoided.
90% is nice, but 100% is better...we pay for it...it's not some sort of freebie.
Imho...the complaint is justified.
