In placing the pleats in i)osition care must be taken to turn the side with theraw edge behind, next to the upright, otherwise the edge will show. Draw the upper edgesout to the right and get them perfectly smooth and even. The distance along the topfrom I to J, Fig. 8, should be 15 inches, as 2 inches has been used for pinning. Allowthe right edges of the pleats to fall inside of the top of the fixture, as shown in Fig. the edges of the pleats have been made perfectly even, draw the goods down to thepoint H, Fig. 9, and pin to the front of the upright where it joins the lower part of thestand.
