Since Egyptian times, pleating technique has been used for hundreds of years. It is often fabricated with a heat setting technique where fabric is placed between a two part mould and put inside a steaming machine. Traditionally, a pleat fluting iron is casted with pleat patterns on two matching parts. It is heated to sandwich fabrics for pleat setting.
