- Pleating is the art of folding fabric in to different shapes creating differences in volume and texture.
- To pleat fabric, you first need a pattern or mould. Patterns are made up of two pieces of card that are folded identically so that they can fit together. Most moulds also have a wrapper on the outside to protect the pattern during the heating process.
- To pleat fabric, you first need to separate the two pieces of card and flatten one on a table. You then lay your fabric on top of the card and cover the fabric with the top part of the pattern.
- Once you have the fabric in between the two pieces of card the pattern needs to be folded in to shape and rolled up tight. It is then placed in a steam cabinet to heat set the fabric in to the required shape.
- After the pattern has cooled down sufficiently the fabric can be removed and it should now maintain the shape of the pattern used to pleat it.
