The Pleater Manual (Item # Pleater Manual) Price Drop!

A must have for anyone with a pleater. This is the definitive "generic" guide to operating a smocking pleater and working with pleated fabric. Saran Douglas is an expert on smocking and pleating and gives you a wealth of useful information about pleating and working with pleated fabric. It covers the basics as well as advanced subjects like pleating on the bias and even curves. Included is a glossary of terms, pleating directions for all types of fabrics and pleater maintenance instructions. The layout of the book is set up in lesson plans on every type of pleating, exotic or regular - so you'll know your stuff when you've worked you way through! She compiled alot of information, it's well researched and it shows. I can easily recommend this book as a must have in every smockers library. Soft cover, spiral bound.

The Little Amanda Jane Pleater, 16 Rows, Made In Australia (Item # LAmanda)

An excellent size pleater for when you're working with doll and infant clothing or if you want a narrower spacing of pleates for picture smocking. A very nice quality with precision brass rollers, less expensive easily replaced needles, complete instructions included.

The Amanda Jane Pleater, 24 Rows, Made in Australia (Item # Amanda)

If you want to pleat more than 16 rows and like a wider spacing between your rows then this pleater is a great choice. This pleater has 24 rows and 23 half rows with the needles spaced 1 cm apart. An all round great pleater that can do it all. A very nice quality with precision brass rollers, less expensive easily replaced needles, complete instructions included.

This is the new pleater everyone is talking about! The Super Amanda is the same length as the Amanda Jane but has half cm spacing for the full length of the pleater, offering 47 half cm rows from 47 needles. It is ideal for pleating material which does not hold a pleat successfully when needles are spaced 1cm apart. It easily eliminates hunting for the half spaces on full bodice smocking and your stitches will be perfect. A very nice quality with precision brass rollers, less expensive easily replaced needles, complete instructions included.
