Dyeing with a pleater

Article Abstract:

A smocking pleater is a fabric dyer's and clothing designer's delight. Aside from pleating fabric for smocking, the pleater can also be used in creating hand-dyed fabrics in a style reminiscent to the Japanese art of Mokume Sibori dyeing, which uses tightly patterned rows of running stitches.
