Number vs. size of pleats

[TheKiltedCoder]

Thanks again to meinfs and to Barb for the comments. I'm certainly learning more and more about the whole process, and I'm really looking forward to finishing this.

One other quick question I'll throw out: with the original shaping of the left side of the overapron, there was more width in the shaping from waist to hip than there was in the first pleat. When I get home tonight, I'll redo the math on the pleats and see how things recalculate with a 7/8" pleat at the hip. However, if the shaping in the left side of the overapron is still wider than one pleat, what is the accepted method for dealing with it?

1) Widen the first pleat until I can stitch the entire distance to the fell?

2) Only stitch the part of the overapron that covers the first pleat to the first pleat?

3) Continue stitching the apron edge to the second pleat until I get to the fell line?

4) Somehow stretch or tilt the overapron so that the entire distance to the fell stays on the first pleat?

5) Stop and recalculate because this problem should never occur?

Thanks again for all the pointers, everyone!
