    Below the plissee it is possible to draw-in structure steps by the needle action, if necessary. This way the pleat effect is supported.

Inserting cycles:

By transferring the pleats, the fabric width is reduced and the tension in the fabric is increased. Therefore, the fabric needs a minimum length between the fabric beginning and the pleat transfer.

Cycles have to be inserted in the basic pattern for the length control.

  1. The fabric has to be grasped by the main take-down when the pleats are transferred.
