Here’s one thing I love and appreciate about this. It goes to show that Rocky and USA accounts, they’re not trying to hide anything. They’re happy to bring someone who is OG in the field in and have them look at exactly what they’re doing. The desire to strive to be better, not necessarily more successful but just putting out the best product they can, it’s appreciated and impressive

This is the kind of video I thoroughly enjoy, the technical aspects of a kiltmakers job. I'd love to see a video on one kilt being made, step by step all the way through to the finished product. Now, that would be cool!

That was awesome! I'll get her book this month. Watching this while knitting some kilt hose.

Whaou! Just wish, i could've been the infamous fly, on the wall! Being there, learning all those small secrets. And just dreaming `bout to put all these golddrops in to practice... Thanks for all these thoughts, and considerations, you both put in to this lovely art, of making a traditional kilt! Simply blown away....

Two giants in the kilt making craft. I love all my kilts by both sources.

My local kilt maker made me a horrible kilt, couldn’t figure out what went wrong and Quit. Left me with $3k worth of new wool and new tartan with no idea what I was going to do. Found Barb on the internet and she rescued me. Made kilts for my brother, his two sons and myself. I’ll always be grateful for her help and her fantastic kilt making. Just got married in mine!

Very cool, I had no idea the amount of work that goes into kilt making.

[@theologyman]

An amazing interview with her.

[@Nightmoss]

Awesome video. I have kilts from both of these greats.

[@straycat1674]

Next challenge, you or her. I challenge you to develop a hidden taco pocket.

They said “yup” to each other so much it reminded me of the yup aliens from Sesame Street. Funny

+USAKiltsOfficial *I'd take a 4" strap DuPontⓇ Corduraᵀᴹ as backing for the plaits, use carpet thread (machine lockstitch or hand backstitch).* What suggest ye for plait depth as a function of lengths in an undyed-wool Five-Yard? I've no stripes to meet, unlike the common Tartans.

Can someone tell what Tartan was the first one that Barb showed in Rocky’s office?
