Try it on scraps... I really didn't like the effect.

Oh, I definitely planned to.

I always edge stitched *every* pleat on the pleated skirts I
made
in high school <mumble> years ago, and I thought this
technique
sounded intriguing. But if it makes for a stiff edge, then
it's
out.

Yeah. I did the crease stitch thing once for stbx's pants,
and just
that small of an amount, front and back, made the slacks too
tight. An
ugly sight. Anyway, you may have to add a bit of extra into the
pattern--depending on the fit/design of the item.

In this case, I'm thinking about experimenting on using it for
the pleats in a fully 3-to-1 pleated skirt/skort. The fabric is
from my stash, and I have a lot of it, so I can do some test
runs. Thanks for the heads up on the fitting issue, though.
