Holy cow. My hat is off to anybody who can multi-task to that extent! Give me a little window and a transparent bobbin any day (having sewn too many years using the "run til it's empty" kind).

Sorry about the hijack. I'm partway through my own first X-Kilt this weekend, will post some pics when I finish up in next day or two. Like KiltedKiwi, I expect subsequent models will show improvement
