thank you.
Don't be scared! I think if I was using this lightweight wool again I would use some stabilizer with it. The heavy weight/kilt weight wool is quite different. The lady who made my daughters school kilt gave me two large sacks of tartan off-cuts. I used some to make table runners and found the heavier wool a joy to work with. And besides if I can cut tartan anyone can. The difficult bit is matching up the sett.
