Solution for an ugly tuck-in selvedge

[Barb T]

Since you are presently working with this specific material, could you please tell me the width of the sett ( so I can check my understanding & measurement; And: is an symetric taratan [as I think} or an asymetrical tartan)?
thanks

It's the Ancient MacNaughton, and the sett is roughly 10". Although at first glance, it looks like the sett ought to be from one narrow blue/black/blue stripe to the next, adjacent blocks with these stripes are actually different. The "A" center stripe below is bordered on both sides by red then blue, and the "B" center stripe is bordered on both sides by red then green. So the full sett is measured between the two "A" center stripes. And it is a symmetric tartan - you can fold the tartan on either the A stripe or the B stripe, and it's identical in either direction.



And, just as an aside since I've posted stuff before on ABAC tartans such as the Black Watch, the MacNaughton is *not* an ABAC tartan.
