Troubleshooting

Invisible zipper puckering.

Use a zipper foot and a slightly longer stitch length. Consider using a lightweight interfacing on the zipper seam allowance.

Waistband too tight.

Double-check that you have sewn the correct size, and consider adjusting the waistband slightly by letting out the seam allowance.

Pleats not sitting correctly.

Ensure you have folded and pressed the pleats according to the pattern instructions. Use a pressing cloth to avoid scorching the fabric.
