When ironing pleats on pants, you can use paper clips to secure the intended line for the pleat. Begin ironing on the underside of the pants, removing one clip at a time. Iron a pleat, replace the clip, and move to the next one. When you finish, turn it right side out and repeat the process. For a flawless finish, remove the paper clips as you work up each leg of the iron to smooth out the pleat.
