Next, the position of the auxiliary plate is adjusted according to the sewing machine's sewing position, ensuring the sewing needle is aligned with the center line observation port. Then, two sets of swivel blocks are rotated and threaded through the second through-threaded hole to the second threaded rod, thus fixing the auxiliary plate. Later, during pleating, the position of the alignment plates in the two sets of fabric observation ports is adjusted according to one end of the fabric, aligning one set with the end of the fabric. During pleating, the alignment plates can be used to compare the fabric end in real time, preventing changes in the pleating position. Furthermore, the center line position of the pleating can be compared using two sets of dimensional markings to ensure the pleating position remains unchanged. Finally, the fabric pleating process can be performed.
