Disappearing A-line

[Pleater]

I have the opposite problem, the apron edges roll outwards.

Lifting the inner fold above the straight and level pulls it back into place - making a slender triangle of fabric visible.

If you lower the inner fold that should counter the inward roll and push the outer fold back into place.

You can see the principle if you take a sheet of paper and draw a line / - across it. Hold the edges and bring your hands together to fold the paper into a U. Move your hands vertically, one up and one down and there will be a point where it skews to make the line vertical.

If the alteration at the top results in the lower part of the plear pushing out then a dart in the inner edge to counter the push will sort it out.

The problem arises due to trying to wrap a multitude of curved surfaces in a flat plane of fabric.

Thank you all. I will try to puzzle this out. I'm sorry I don't know who wove the tartan. Perhaps an search of the shipping form may say. As always, the simple answer was blocked from my mind proportionate to my exasperation. Thank you for helping me see clearly.
