[ATTACH=CONFIG]605633[/ATTACH]Maviskw-this is a pleater. It 'folds' the fabric like even gathering, into valleys and hills, so you can stitch on the hills.Look at the yoke picture where I took out the pleating toward the armholes. I hope I explained it for you. A pleater prepares you for the smocking.
