When stitching pleats - due to the way I support the weight of the kilt on a table in front of me because I stitch left-handed - I always stitch in the direction from the hips to the waist. This allows me to control the tension on the fabric with my right hand and the needle in my left.
I also press my pleats before sewing and use pins as I work.
Barb likes a leather thimble. I prefer a British style ring thimble and learned to hold my needle like a British Tailor.
