Unfortunately that doesn't work.

I did just that with my clan tartan. I made a computer sample of the tartan pleated to the stripe and thought “Well that looks pretty good.” When I actually purchased the cloth and sample pinned it, I realized that the black stripe that I was planning on using when woven with the green of the under check turned dark grayish green and when viewed from 10 feet away it disappeared into the background. I ended up pleating it to the sett.

You just have to bite the bullet and order a swatch.
