Do you need help with changing needles in your Amanda smocking pleater? Whether you have the Little Amanda, the Amanda Jane or the Super Amanda, all of this range of pleaters take the same pleater needles designed for the Amanda Jane range of pleaters. Changing them is only slightly different on the different models. I’ve created some quick videos showing you exactly what you need to look out for when changing the needles. Check out the video that matches your Amanda model of pleater as shown in the photos below…
If none of these look like your pleater, maybe go back to the Changing Needles in a Smocking Pleater page to look for your pleater. Still having trouble? Drop me a line on my Contact Form and I’ll see if we can work it our together.
