Is there significance to the hole? Is there a reason it's on the under side of a pleat?

Sorry... I may be adding to the list of questions, not taking away from them.
Fold or crease? Who knows? See post #13.

I don't think it's a pleat, not defined enough. As for the hole, I think it's just that - a hole. Looks like moth damaged to me.
