Whatever the case, the over-apron does not lie on top of any part of the first box-pleat.

If in fact that is NOT what you've done, and there is no overlap, then I'm not sure what's going on.
What I did and what I am going to fix is I got rid of the deep pleat. I realize now that that thing is important. I just couldn't understand the directions of what to do with all that material. I still wish there were step by step photos of how to treat the over-apron.
