Pleating Wildcat tartan to the sett

[The Wizard of BC]

I know that Barb does not do this but it is one of the teaching tools I use at Kilt Kamp.

I iron a strip of fusible interfacing to the back of my strip of fabric. This holds it and prevents it from distorting over time. It also makes a nice surface to mark on.



Then, when I have my pleating figured out, I will mark the fusible interfacing showing the crease edges of every pleat along its length.



I am not advocating this method. Just offering it as a tip that I found helped new people visualize their pleats.
