This is the first pair of curtains I have made with pinch pleats using buckram, so excuse the newbie Q.
I have machine stitched the single pleat, and to the stage of forming the triple pleat by hand stiching the base of the pleat.
This is the part I am not sure on, do you;
1) stab stitch through the fabric, right to left, then bring the thread over the front of the pleat, then repeat stab stitch through right to left and so on
or 2) stab stich right to left, then stab stitch back left to right and so on, so the thread does not show at the front?
cheers
