Having foundthe correct distance lay the goods on the floor or take it on the knee and fold under % ofthe whole width. Then fold back andforth until tlio gtiods arc arranged infour pleats of equal depth. This processis fully explained in Drape 1. Thepleated section of the goods is now laidover the hack of the top of the stand atP). The selvage of the uppermost pleatextends 1 inch back beyond the lowerpleats in order to hide them. When thearrangement has been completed, thefront edges of the four pleats are about3 inches in front of the back of the stand(point B). In arranging the folds the lower one extendsone above and each succeeding one is arranged in the same. tritlc•ay. in front of the next Having completed this arrangement the sweep is carried out to the left at a rightangle from the top of the stand and is fastened with a single pin through the left handselvage at a point about 2 yards from the standard of the fixture. This brings the endof the sweep to a point and the four folds form themselves naturally. The pin must beplaced at such a distance that the lower fold fits snugly against sweep A throughout itsentire length. In placing the folds at the back of the top of the stand, as shown in Fig. 3,the forward ends of the pleats are allowed to extend over the back of the stand (B)about 1 inch. Each lower pleal is arranged slightly in advance of the one alwve, asdescribed in Drape 4.
