This will make them look more like flat knife pleats. […]

Stacked pleats come from making a knife (or box) pleat, then making another knife pleat and laying it right under the first one rather than pleating the fabric and setting it next to the first one. Two knife pleats made and stacked on top of each other are called a double stacked pleat. When you have three it’s triple. Generally, in stacked pleats the folds of the pleats are all the same width.
