X Marks Tartan Run #3 discussion

[The Wizard of BC]

Hello all,

Well, it's here. I have the two rolls of the fabric in my shop and have done a quick look over of it.

The Selvedge damage is not as bad as I first thought is was going to be. I haven"t yet found a place where it is deeper than the folded area of the selvedge proper.

This fabric will however need to be shipped in single width only. The side with the damage seems to be perfectly good for a kilt with a folded hem. I did a quick test to see how a hem would look and I think it will be fine. I also cannot see any areas where stress has caused distortion to the Sett. With a Tartan is is pretty easy to see if the fabric has been stressed. You just lay a straight edge on the lines of the pattern and if they are curved the fabric has been stressed since it came off the loom. I do not see that here.

Thank you all for the responses by PM, e-mail and phone. I will be contacting each of you individually to insure everyone gets a fair deal on what you paid for.

As I get responses from each of you I will begin to cut and ship out.

It would be helpful if we knew whom you have heard from already. I sent an email, I just want to be sure you received it.

Like Splash_4, I think I've sent you an e-mail, but I don't know if you received it.

Best regards

if the damage isn't as bad as thought, and can indeed be hemmed, I'll take the double width damage or no.

A while back, I got an email saying the first bolt was rejected and there would be a new bolt made as soon as possible (I remember a date of May).

Well, May is here and I was curious if there is any update!!!!

(The jonesing continues . . .)

I think Steve said that Fraser & Kirkbright were waiting for the correct color yarn to arrive sometime in May. Then the cloth will have to be woven, sent out for finishing, mailed to Steve, inspected, measured, cut and then mailed to us. We still have a major jones on our hands.

Just think about something else. Think love-ly thoughts...think love-ly thoughts...

Sailing, hopScots, candy. Picnics, ice cream candy. Puppies, kittens Candee!

Lovelier thoughts than that, Michael............Tartans!!!

candy. Picnics, ice cream candy. Puppies, kittens Candee!

THANKS, now I'm HUNGERY!!
I'm sure Kitten Candy would taste fine, great use of Cat, the other, other white meat. Actually, I'll just fry it.

Well, I have a MacNeil, a USA Bicent., and a Wallace kilt to think about in the meantime.
