Would one of those "perfect pleaters" work, the kind Clothilde sells, or
are the pleats not small enough? That might be a pretty fast and easy way
to do it, I would think...

Hi KP,
Thanks for the suggestion. Our fiber guild has one of those, and I looked
at it to see, and 1, it is too large a pleat, and 2, it does knife pleats,
not crimped pleats, which is what I am looking to do. Really fine crimped
pleats.
Someone on a different list suggested a doll pleater tool, called a Pretty
Pleater. It comes in 3 sizes and it just may do the trick.

They suggest using a fusible backing to hold the pleats in place.
Also on that other list was a suggestion for a hair crimper, and I found a
micro crimper that has different levels of heat control, and it seems to be
really small, but I haven't found one locally yet to really tell. Online
photos are small.
Then there's the wooden stick method that has an appeal as well, and a few
other suggestions. I may be testing a few ideas to see what works well.
