Don't use pleating tape, the pleats end up being only about 1/2"
deep, so
there are a lot of them to sew. And the tape adds a lot of bulk.
Instead
make a facing with 1/4" gingham. That way you can easily make even
pleats,
using the gingham as a guide. I like making pleats 1" deep. Quick
whip
stitches and you're done!
I do cartridge pleats with no marking at all, just eyeballing them,
and they come out fine.
