PINCH PLEATS :--These are used on curtains and draperies . The pleats are
spaced apart from each other and stitched partway down . Markings are
made for tucks . Finished width of the pleat can be about 2 1/4 ". So
you must allow 4 1/2 " extra material for each pleat . Space the tucks
and stitch each tuck from the top edge of the curtain .Next devide
the fullness of each tuck into three equal small pleats and baste them
together along the top and front edges . Press and machine the three
pleats together across their bottom ends .
