When I use the term "cheating the pleats", I use it in the sense of some or all of the pleats not having a full sett in the hidden part of the pleat. You have to do this with a really large sett unless you're willing to settle for a small number of much bigger pleats. But, done properly, "cheating the pleats" doesn't show from the right side of the kilt because you still show the full sett in the reveal. What Wally describes is what I call cheating the pleats. The pleating in the first post in this thread isn't.
