Woah! You took that simple pattern to a whole new level with the embroidery! That is so elegant! Did you use the Solvy stabilizer over the pkeats when doing the embroidery? Inquiring minds want to know!

Re: Faux Pleated Pillow

I have the thing called "The Perfect Pleater". It works great. It's a little time consuming but the effects are great.
Has anyone else used this?
I would like to do a runner with alternating pleated squares and then sew the pleats backwards (if that make sense). Just not sure if I should use the 1/4" pleat space or the 1/2" to create a nice look.

As for the embroidery on the pillow, I think I would tend to use a topping stabilizer just in case the needle/thread got caught up in the pleats pulled them backwards.

The pillow is gorgeous! Good job.

I have a pleater too (if I can find it, lol) I have a book and it shows the reverse pleats, but not in blocks. They are all on the same square. The look is so cool looking. I saw a pillow at Pier1 and I thought I can make that!
