Welcome to the fold. I had a brief romantic encounter with someone from Oconomowoc, once, but alas it was not meant to be, I suppose. It's always startling to me to see that unusual place name, which is fun to say.

Yes, do get Barb's book. It details the whole process in 783 easy steps, and there are at least four diagrams or tables on each of the 130 pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide instructions for the machine. I imagine that you'll be able to figure out what to do, though. I'll probably never make a kilt of my own, but I'm glad I have it. I've learned from it what to look for in a good quality kilt.

Regards from Cincinnati,

p.s. Out of curiosity, what will your daughter and her mates be performing at the Fringe Festival?
