Pleating silk dupioni tutorial

I needed to pleat a dupion silk dress for a customer today. Since I have had several people ask me for tips on pleating silk dupioni, I decided to make a little video :o) NO LAUGHING! lol I know I sound like a Smurf! I had to make it in two little videos because I couldn't hold the camera and turn my pleater handle. This is just a VERY simple tutorial, not anything amazing or elaborate, but I hope it might help someone.

  5. Right now I have a "Rowenta DX9800" iron and I like it a lot. It steams really well and does not drip or leak on fabric. I bought it from Allbrands. If you use the code fivedollars, you get $5 off, if you use the code discount5, you get 5% off.
