A stitching pattern will be superimposed on top of them and it must line up perfectly row after row for one. You also need to know where your exact center front it and exact center back so that stitching design is placed perfectly. So yes, count you must. I count my work pinned to the padded pressing board and sticking a pin in every ten pleats. I then recount each ten before I move on to the next ten. You can't imagine what a nightmare it is if you are one pleat off. If you face that problem it is pull out the stitches and start over. After I have the pleats all counted I put a little thread tie at the two CF and CB pleats just to help keep my bearings as I stitch. Thanks for asking, Sherrill.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-30678623631171923822008-09-07T10:24:00.000-04:002008-09-07T10:24:00.000-04:00Bunny, I love the work you do.
