Marking pleats to the Sett...

start from the join. select you center stripe. then mark back to the location of the first pleat instead of going from the first pleat minimum mark. it doesn't matter where you end next to the aprons. it is important that you get the center pleat centered.

Therein lies the key to laying out pleating to the sett, IMHO. It's taken me three hand-sewn pleated-to-sett kilts to figure this out. Start from the middle and work outwards.
