pleats on the top edge of the doily. \u00a0I leave the center of the doily flat and create the pleats by folding over about 1\/2 inch at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Start with the one closest to the center. \u00a0Gather about 1\/2 inch of fabric into your fingers. \u00a0Fold it inward toward the center. \u00a0Pin the pleat in place.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat this to form three pleats on that side of the center. \u00a0You don&#8217;t want to have the pleats include too much of the outer lace edge. \u00a0This is already a beautiful edge and pleating it will detract from the style.<\/p>\n<p><a
