My Aunt would just use ruler or old blinds. She had quite the knack for different types of smocking. She made her daughters fan for her bridal bouquet and smocked the front bodice of her daughters wedding dress and also the sleeves. The bridemaid dresses had smocking on the bodice and that was it.

I have been searching for mine for about a year now...
I've had it for 30 years or so- I used it mainly for doing decorative vests, shirts etc, when you stitch across the pleats one way, then stitch across the next row in the opposite direction.
Also I have made a LOT of pleats for towel edges to coordinate fabric with the rest of the decor. I does work
well, but definitely has limited usage.
