Question about sewing the last pleat to the underapron

[raibeart_dubh]

In TAoK, it says to only sew through one thickness. I understand this to be one thickness of underapron. Does this also mean only one thickness of the last pleat? One of the diagrams looks like it goes through both thicknesses of the pleat. Any help is greatly appreciated!

When you stitch a pleat, you're stitching through the very edge of the fold. So, technically, you're stitching through two thicknesses, although it should be at the very edge of the fold. Does that help?

Oh yes! That means I did it right! Thanks, Barb.
