ABSTRACT:
A device to improve and simplify techniques in needlework construction is disclosed which utilizes a porous resilient surface and a dense backing structure. The resilient surface is divided into two equal main working areas by a main indicator and each of the two main working areas are divided into smaller working areas by a plurality of secondary indicators. The purpose of the main and secondary indicators is to provide proper alignment of clothing materials placed on the device and more particularly with respect to completing a smocking apparatus. The purpose of the alignment indicators is to provide a series of work areas whereby a pre-pleated material can be pinned and retained while the smocking stitching is accomplished. The device also includes a circular marking area at the center of the structure which consists of a series of concentric circular lines having circumferences corresponding to standard neck sizing which is used for proper location of materials to be accomplished with smocking of round yoke or bishop dresses or collars.
