No,
I basted the edge of the pleat and then sewed the previous pleat to it with the machine. Then I would go to the next pleat baste it, and sew the last pleat to that one and so on.
After all the machine stitching was done, I then cut out the excess fabric from the back of the pleats

I play it all the time and it happened to be lying there at the time, and I thought it looked nice enough to not clear it away...

Congratulations! That's a beautiful garment, and I hope you're very proud of it. Now all you need is a pair of shoes!
