The Read Pleater
The 24-Row Regular, 24-Row Maxi and 32-Row pleaters have the following specifications:
- Heavy-duty stable base-plate with anti-skid rubber feet
- Extra large side-plate opening allowing for large capacity of rolled-up fabric
- Simple, pin-type roller holding system allows for quick and easy needle access
- Comfortable and user-friendly dual handles for maximum versatility
- Heavy-duty solid brass rollers
- Capable of handling heavy-weight fabrics
24-Row Regular Pleater
24 needles spaced 1cm apart with half cm spaces across half of the roller width. This model is suitable for most normal pleating applications.
24-Row Maxi Pleater
Half cm spacing across the entire width of the roller (47 needles). Half spaces can be used as guidelines when smocking and to improve holding difficult fabrics which tend to bubble. The Maxi can also be used as a Regular pleater (24 needles) by removing the half space needles (every second needle).
32-Row Pleater
32 needles spaced 1cm apart with half spaces across half of the roller width. This is the only pleater of this size available worldwide.
