Hello, i have a problem with my trousers pattern, the pleats stays open and i don t know how to fix this problem, i ve tried a few things but nothing works for me. I m asking your help! Thank you! :)
Hi Alx,
For anyone to help you out, you will need to tell us a bit more of what you are doing. The are many very experienced people here but you need to give them enough information.
An old trick for pleats is to draw a stripe of cheap soap on the inside of the pleat and then iron them.
But i think your problem is synthetic material. In that case thereis little that wil help.
If pleats are standing away for me there are 2 possibilties.
I would look at
1. if the part is to tight (speak belly)
2. The inside of the pleat (bottom??) is sagging. You must pull it up a bit till it closes.
I did not know the trick with the soap, Pfaff260

When you fold it ease in a little extra for the outside of the fold.
