Heh..... top-stitched about 8 of the pleats this morning. I'm out of practice getting machine-sewn, topstitched tartan to line up, so I had to re-do a bunch of them and when it's all done I still may come back and rip out one and do it again. In fact that one may be so troublesome after everything around it is stitched down that I may have to do it by hand.. Still...an hour and a quarter for 8 pleats is still probably twice as fast as if I hand-stitched them.
