My wife said "people need to see you press because there's big difference between pressing and ironing. Quilters understand that but a lot of people don't."
A little compressed air is a great was to remove corrected chalk marks, i do this in my upholstery shop where I have a compressor. Maybe a small can of compressed air would work for you, and maybe for you it is a solution without a problem.
I know you really like D.C. Dalgleish as your favorite. Is that a special run (As far as color values) of a Seaforth tartan? In 16oz.? That is a very striking pattern. It almost looks 'Partially' weathered. Sorry, I must have missed Part one. So I go my answer regarding this color palette. Previously in a video you mentioned that you could do a special run. Would this tartan in this color palette be available in the future if a client wanted a kilt made, for a kilt project?
Yes, this is the 'Seaforth Centennial' sett that I designed for the regiment's 100th Anniversary in 2010. It's 'Seaforth #2', but the palette was inspired by my grandfather's kilt which he wore ca.1914-1919. you can find it here: dcdalgliesh.co.uk/fabric/605052 and also a slightly smaller sett based on the thread-count of the oldest extant piece of 72nd tartan cloth: dcdalgliesh.co.uk/fabric/610492
Why did u take so much fabric off it ?? Ive investigated and ive found my county tartan ..in 29 inch width... ill need the whole width ...i need my arthritic knees covered lol lol
I wish there was a way to ‘like’ these videos more than once.
The fact that your left handed as well has helped me tons. I'm still a long way from making a kilt, but I have the concept down
I'm glad to hear that - because that''s exactly why I'm posting these vids!
As a Seamstress, I love these videos and find them to be quite helpful.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I use wax chalk which vanishes when a hot iron is passed over it.

...because I am a 'kiltmaker' and not a 'dressmaker'.
