Just one word to add for anyone thinking of using this service. And that is to actually read the Terms and Conditions that you agree to by checking off the little box when you design your tartan. Part of those terms states, "By saving and/or publishing a new tartan design using this system, you are granting Scotweb Marketing Ltd an exclusive right to weave, license, or otherwise use your design commercially."

I don't say this to be critical of Nick or Scotweb -- they put forth a lot of time, effort, and no doubt capital, to create the tartan design software and they deserve to reap the benefits of that. But there was a thread a while back where someone had used the software to create a tartan, which he planned to have woven by someone else, and only found out after the fact that he had given that exclusive right to Scotweb without realizing it.

Another time someone called me up after designing their own tartan on Scotweb and asked if I could have it woven for them, and I had to tell them no, respecting the terms and conditions of Scotweb's design program. They were dissapointed, but those were the terms they agreed do by clicking the little box.

So just be aware what when you use this feature of Scotweb's site, you need to plan on having the cloth woven through Scotweb.
