ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for pleating cloth especially to make miniaturized drapes comprising a rectangular frame having a number of flexible rectangular slats movable along the length of the frame. In the preferred embodiment, the slats are placed on wire guides at two opposite ends of the frame and are movable on the guides, and in the alternative embodiment the T-shaped ends of the slats are placed within a U-shaped tunnel running along the length of the frame.
The fabric to be pleated is interwoven between the slats, the slats are compressed to one side of the frame, and steam is applied to the fabric supported by the frame. Steam may be applied to the opposite side of the frame with fabric thereon, the fabric is allowed to dry, and it is subsequently removed from the frame, adjusted to a desired shape, steamed and allowed to dry, thereby retaining its pleated shape.
