596 Here’s an easy way to get perfect, sharp pleats:

• First trace the pleating lines onto the dull side of a strip of freezer paper.

• Then iron the coated side of the paper onto the wrong side of your fabric.

• Now fold and press the pleats on the drawn lines. I like to crease them with a bone folder (you can also use a table knife or a ruler) and then set them with my iron and a wooden clapper.

• When you are ready to sew the pleated piece to your garment, peel back the freezer paper far enough to baste the pleats in place, then peel the rest of the paper off. It comes off easily and is ready to be used again.
