pleater
Tool for fabric folds
A pleater is a tool or machine that creates pleats—evenly spaced folds in fabric.
In sewing, a pleater typically has rows of channels or needles that gather material into uniform ridges: She ran the fabric through the pleater before attaching it to the bodice.
The term also applies to a person whose job involves making pleats.
