This will put any alteration on the wrong/other side from where you want it to be. There are time when you can't work from the right side, i.e. no friend handy to help with the marking, but you can use blackboard chalk on denim or old wool to mark and it does wash or brush out.

I guess I was ahead of my time 36 years ago when, at the age of 16, I did the same thing (minus the pleated ruffle) to a pair of gauchos!!! I think I'll try it again with some slacks this time! Thanks for the post that reminded me of this idea. Wow! I guess I was ahead of my time 36 years ago when, at the age of 16, I did the same thing (minus the pleated ruffle) to a pair of gauchos!!!
