Vintage Super Amanda 24 Row Smocking Pleater Machine – Fully Reconditioned
Bring efficiency and perfect precision to your heirloom sewing workspace with this genuine, fully reconditioned Vintage Super Amanda Smocking Pleater . Known throughout the global needlework community as a best-in-class machine, it features precision engineering for smooth performance and exceptional durability. This authentic vintage machine turns hours of manual fabric gathering into minutes of effortless preparation work.
Machine Specifications & Compatibility
- Row Capacity: 24-row roller configuration, with half spaces along the full length of the rollers, for versatile fabric gathering width.
- Base Design: Solid aluminium handles, brass rollers with a solid core and metal tensioning pins so no screw driver is needed. It all comes on a sturdy plastic base, with sturdy rubber feet.
- Needle Compatibility: For flawless tension and to protect the brass rollers, this machine requires authentic Amanda Jane Pleater Needles or Sally Stanley Pleater Needles. You can purchase genuine replacement needles directly from my shop to combine shipping.
- Flawless Roller Action: The rollers have been completely disassembled, cleaned of old thread debris, and perfectly re-aligned for a smooth, catch-free rotation.
- Excellent Cosmetic Condition: Clean gears and minor vintage wear consistent with careful historical use, completely free of structural rust. Please note: As this is an authentic vintage item, some natural discolouring of the brass rollers will be present. The photos show the exact, individual machine you will receive.
- Pre-Tested Performance: Fully threaded and fabric-tested in our workspace to guarantee perfect pleating depth.
