Yes, and I am now a believer in steeking. You can't support a non ridgid, hanging strip, like a pleat, at only one point part way down, especially when it's tapered above that point, with out distorting the angle of the pleat. In other words, you have to anchor both pleat edgesthe, inside and out, at about the same place, fell bottom and steeking line, to insure the pleat has an equal center of ballence at the anchor points.
