    May I suggest that you wear your pin very near the fringe as the material is doubled over there and less likely to be damaged by the weight of the pin.

    I've found that a pin's-width from the edge, and a pin's-length from the bottom looks good and balanced to me.

    I try to position my kilt pins where the apron is folded under as well. However, I know at least one of my kilts has a very narrow section of folded apron material and would cause the pin to be too close to the edge of the apron. As a general rule, I also like to place my kilt pin with reference to the tartan (in the middle of a sett line, for instance)
