Bear Tartan farbric

[Barb T]

I noticed it ws described as 'Jura' which would mean 16 oz cloth from Marton Mills

One thing I noticed about the a-symmetry... look at the picture CLOSELY... the BOTTOM black line in the pic (horizontal) is on the OTHER side of the tartan. This MAY allow it to be cut and spliced, HOWEVER, the vertical kilt stripes will move from one side of the block to the other side at the splice. I'm ASSUMING that the grey / white pivot line just above the bottom of the picture is the MIDDLE of the bolt when I talk about the a-symmetry being splice-able... kind of.

Is this making sense?

But doesn't it still make it impossible to simultaneously line up the selvedge, the twill line, and the weft-wise order of the stripes?? Or am I not thinking this through correctly? You could match selvedge and the twill line and the warp-wise order of the stripes, but wouldn't the weft-wise order still be a mirror image across the center back? You could make the weft-wise order work, but you'd have to flip the tartan, and the twill lines would be mirror images. Or am I screwed up somewhere?
