My next two projects

True. I guess it's just that my first kilt went so well that I want all of them to go that well or better. I'm wondering if that vertical stretch is going to cause any interesting problems along the way is all. I've started rolling a hem on the camo, and it seems to be really easy to work with so far. I'll keep y'all posted on how it goes.

Does anybody else feel like this could be code for something else besides kilt making???

You might want to do a quick experiment. Sew one line of stitching warp wise and then another weft wise. (That's one line 90 degrees out from one another.)

I mistakenly got some fabric with stretch in it and had to throw it out as it puckered badly in one direction eventhough it was fine in the other.

Note to all DIY'rs: Buy the best fabric you can. Most of the cost of a non-wool kilt is in the labor, not the fabric. The differance in 1.99 a yard and 7.99 a yard is only $24.00. If you figure your labor at even minimum wage that's $300 or so.
So by buying a really good fabric your kilt cost $324.00 instead of $300.00. So what.
But oh what a differance a good piece of fabric makes.
