pleaters
Tools for folds
Pleaters are tools or devices used to create pleats—the evenly spaced folds in fabric.
In sewing, a pleater is typically a machine attachment or handheld tool that gathers material into uniform ridges: She ran the fabric through the pleater before attaching it to the bodice.
The term also refers to people who make pleats professionally.
