What is the X-Kilt for?

[meinfs]

My pointers (from experience):

Read the manual when you have the cloth ready. It doesn't make sense to read the whole thing without fabric. But be sure to have washed (hot) the (cotton/cottonpoly) first and dried, before you sit down to work on it. Preshrink now before sewing.

Decide early on: to hem or not to hem the selvedge.

Print an extra copy on a single (full) page of the sketch of the sample kilt diagram with all the lines etc. It's to good to consult it as you mark the fabric. It gives you an overall picture.

Other than for referring/refreshing the memory, I hardly read the manual on my second kilt (but I still had the diagram quickly available.

When I couldn't understand something (and I try to decipher the meaning), I just try something, anything. The results will show when it's done and I will have learned something. I also had the experience from using Barb's book before the xkilt.

Thanks again Alan H for the xkilt manual!

I added the emphasis, above.... That's Perfect. That's exactly what I had in mind. The manual is a guide, but really what it is, is a kick in the keister to get folks going on the project which in the end isn't really all that hard. You figured out stuff on your own, and you had another reference to look into when you were confused. Upshot is, you have an X-Kilt to wear and you know a lot about kilts now.

That's Success.

You just thanked me, but in fact I should be thanking YOU......anyway, you're welcome.
