Read Maxi Pleater

Pleat your own fabric with the newly revised Maxi Read Pleater! Every model has 47 - 1/2 spaced needle slots and comes with 24 needles placed in every other row. They have a heavy-duty stable base-plate with anti-skid rubber feet, comfortable and user-friendly dual handles for maximum versatility plus heavy duty solid brass rollers. Pleat your own fabric for all your smocking projects.

Comes with a needle threader, 2 spare pleater needles and an instruction booklet.

These are one of the only pleaters still being made. They are brand new, never used. Made in South Africia. Due to tariffs, the cost has increased slightly but buying a brand new pleater is worth the investment because you know all the parts are brand new and work properly.

Check out "The Pleater Manual" by Sarah Douglas which is considered the bible of pleating and my Travel Rods here in my shop to go with your new pleater. 32/24 Row Pleater needles are almost always in stock, make sure you have backup needles. I also sell thread boxes.
