How to Change Needles in a Super Amanda Smocking Pleater

Do you need help with changing needles in your Super 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 a quick video showing you exactly what you need to look out for when changing the needles. Check out the video below…

If this doesn’t 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.

  • Quick Tips:

  • Always ensure your pleater is on a flat surface

  • Always do a test run with a scrap of fabric when you’re finished

  • Always run a piece of waxed paper through to lubricate your needles before starting a new project

Worked it all out? Do you have your needles? Needles for Amanda Jane, Little Amanda and Super Amanda are all the same. Head on over to the Amanda Jane page to decide how many needles you need to buy. Turn your pleater over. Is it wobbly? Looks like you probably need a new set of feet! I have just the right ones on the Amanda Jane page as well.
