As each job is unique, you will be guided through the process to ensure the specific requirements of your job are met. However, there are a some steps which can be taken to help achieve the best result. Fabric should be pressed flat and placed on a roll to prevent creasing before pleating, and to preserve and protect the pleats after they have been set in the fabric. Garment and pattern pieces should also be hemmed and finished before pleating to ensure the pleats retain their form when assembled.
