Pleating using a fork
On this thread
http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...g-t127919.html there was a question on using a fork to make pleats. Intrigued myself, I googled it and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUiTW8OOP78 She does it while sewing, but I suppose it could be pre-pinned or basted as well. Also, for smaller pleats, maybe it's as simple as using a smaller fork, like a lobster fork. I once saw a crib quilt and the border was pleated, it was quite different and added so much to the quilt. Just wanted to share. :) |
Oh, wow, is she ever cleaver! My Mom would have loved that hint. She used to sew her own curtains and pleated drapes.

Thank you for sharing that video! I never thought a fork would be used in sewing. It's pretty neat.
|
That is very cool. I have never had any desire to pleat anything, but I may have to, now!
|
Wow. I just love seeing the many clever ideas people come up with for doing things.
|
Very clever and does give me ideas...
|
That is so clever!!! :)
|
My comment to self was, "well, did you ever?"
|
That is very cool! I hope I remember that the next time I want pleats!
