Pressing before stitching pleats
Hi Steve,
You mentioned in your engineer's guide to pleat marking that you press your pleats before stitching. I also note that a major kiltmaking company near Glasgow also does that. How do you keep your pleats exactly
in place to the nearest mm/32nd" for pressing? Do you just press the fell before stitching or the whole pleat?
I am having trouble with wandering pleat width (Strathmore 13Oz) despite using a gazillion perpendicular pins all along the fell. I thought that if I could press them first, that problem might be minimised.
Cheers,
Michael
