I sometimes use the double sided water soluble tape that quilters use to keep my piping in place on pleated fabric. Other times, I use the API water soluble fabric glue. Lately, I have kept that top pleating thread in place until after the piped seam has been sewn. It helps to keep the pleats where I want them. To reduce bulk, then, I grade the seam allowance. Hope this helps!

I am having trouble being able neatly attach my piping to the top and the bottom of the smocked piece without flattening out my pleats or them shifting. I used to do lovely work and now my pieces look messy. Can you tell me how you attach your piping without shifting or flattening the pleats?
