{"product_id":"the-clotilde-perfect-pleater","title":"The Clotilde Perfect Pleater","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eThe Clotilde Perfect Pleater is a vintage-style plastic board from the 1990s designed to help sewists create neat, even pleats, ruffles, and smocking in fabric or ribbon. Its grooved slots guide folds at 1\/4\", 1\/2\", 3\/4\", or 1\" intervals, making it easy to form slightly overlapping pleats. It can be used for trim, rosettes, heirloom sewing, and other decorative projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003eTo use it, lay your fabric on the pleater and use a thin, stiff tool (like a credit card or small ruler) to tuck the fabric consecutively into the louvers. Once tucked, cover the fabric with a damp press cloth (some crafters use a water and vinegar solution for a stronger hold), and press with a hot iron. Crucially, let the fabric completely cool inside the pleater before removing it so the pleats set properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e Preowned, 11\" x 8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUSPS Ground Advantage is included in the price.
