stitch-up bottom of inverted pleat?

[jhockin]

it looks like the bottom of the inverted pleat ( on the kilt I'm currently making) may hang down, below the bottom of the kilt - should I stitch it up, like the deep pleat? ( i can wait and see, but just wondering if this might be something missing from TAoKM?)

... should I stitch it up, like the deep pleat?

I believe the answer is yes.

What Barb had to say, a while back

Not sure which pleats you are describing, but I'd feel free to slightly hem anything that made me go "hmmmmm, I wonder. . ."

The little ends of both the deep and the reverse pleat do tend to hang below the hem. This is due to the apron taper.

Both of these "apron tips" should be hemmed up.

Please see this post by Barb.

OK< thanks, everyone ; & yes, I did read all of that, but there does not appear to be anything specifically addressing the inverted pleat, BUT, it does "follow", that if it shows below the bottom of the kilt, them I'll stitich it up - later

I don't typically do it, because it doesn't typically hang below. But there's no reason why you can't if it does stick out.

This post actually only shows turning up the deep pleat, not the inverted pleat. The inverted pleat is typically shallower than the deep pleat and, hence, is less likely to show. But, as I said above, there's no reason that you can't stitch it up if it shows. I've never had an issue with it, actually.
