Yes, I was taught this too. The twill should run from the right hip to the left knee when looking down at the kilt. Adhering to this means there is only one side the kiltmaker can use and no 'good' or 'bad' side.
Do you still work that way with the lochcarron cloth Barb, or do you change the direction of the twill when the tucked threads are visible on the other side?
