[0028] Gathering is a decorative pleat effect created by regularly folding and gathering fabric. It typically involves using stitching or other methods to gather and shrink the fabric within a specific area, thus producing wrinkles. Using gathering at the collar and cuffs of lightweight shirts or dresses adds dimension and visual impact. However, current techniques for sewing gathered fabrics typically involve manually marking the specific positions for manual pleating before sewing. This method has several drawbacks: firstly, the need for simultaneous manual pleating and sewing makes it difficult to control the size and width of the pleats, leading to sewing errors and affecting quality; secondly, it results in low sewing efficiency.

[0029] This utility model provides a pleating and sewing template for lightweight fabrics. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 - Figure 4 ,include:

[0030] A base plate 1 is provided with a first seam groove 11, an upper positioning member 12 located on one side of the first seam groove 11, and a side positioning member 13 located on the other side of the first seam groove 11; an upper anti-slip member 14 is provided between the first seam groove 11 and the upper positioning member 12, and a guide member 15 is provided between the first seam groove 11 and the side positioning member 13; a lower anti-slip member 16 is provided above the guide member 15.

[0031] Cover plate 2, which is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. Cover plate 2 is provided with a second sewing groove 12 corresponding to the first sewing groove 11. A pressing member 22 is provided on the side of the second sewing groove 21. Cover plate 2 is placed on the base plate 1. The pressing member 22 is positioned corresponding to the lower anti-slip member 16.

[0032] The pleating and sewing template for lightweight fabrics described in this application effectively improves the problem of inconsistent pleat size and width caused by manual marking and pleating, reducing sewing errors and improving sewing quality. When using this template, the lightweight fabric is first placed on the base plate 1 and pleated. Then, the cover plate 2 is placed on the base plate 1 to press the pleated fabric together. Finally, the template is placed on the sewing equipment for one-time sewing. This template eliminates the need for manual pleating during sewing; workers only need to place the fabric in the correct position and use the pressing parts 22 on the cover plate 2 and the upper and lower anti-slip parts 14 and 16 on the base plate 1 to secure the fabric before sewing. This saves time and effort associated with manual pleating and improves sewing efficiency. The base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 are connected by a connector 4, which is made of adhesive tape. The template has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is inexpensive.

[0033] Furthermore, a lower positioning member 17 is also provided on the base plate 1, located on the side of the side positioning member 13 away from the first sewing groove 11. The upper positioning member 12 and the lower positioning member 17 define the positions of the upper and lower edges of the fabric, which helps improve the accuracy of the fabric placement after pleating and ensures the sewing effect after pleating. It should be noted that when the fabric is placed on the base plate 1, the upper edge of the fabric is flush with the lower edge of the upper positioning member 12, and the lower edge of the fabric is flush with the upper edge of the lower positioning member 17. The accompanying drawings in this application are only for illustrating the structure and do not limit the dimensions and proportions of the components.

[0034] Further, the width of the first sewing groove 11 and the second sewing groove 12 is 0.3mm-0.5mm. Preferably, the width of the first sewing groove 11 and the second sewing groove 12 is 0.35mm. When the sewing groove is too large, the needle of the sewing equipment is prone to deviate when piercing the fabric, causing the thread to not follow the predetermined sewing line, which may result in skipped stitches, missing stitches, and other problems, affecting the quality and strength of the sewing. When the sewing groove is too small, it will cause greater compression and damage to the fabric, which may lead to wear, wrinkles, or even tears on the fabric surface, reducing the quality of the fabric and the quality of the sewn product. It will also cause the needle of the sewing equipment to experience greater resistance during the sewing process, increasing the wear of the needle, shortening the life of the needle, and affecting the continuity of the sewing work.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper anti-slip component 14 and the lower anti-slip component 16 are double-sided adhesive, which can better position the gathered fabric and prevent the fabric from shifting during the sewing process. At the same time, the lower anti-slip component 16 is double-sided adhesive and its length is greater than that of the guide component 15, so the guide component 15 can be better fixed on the base plate 1 by adhesive, so as to prevent the guide component 15 from shifting and affecting the gathered sewing effect.

[0036] Furthermore, the pressing component 22 is at least one sponge strip. In this embodiment, the pressing component 22 consists of several sponge strips spaced equally and arranged along the direction of the second sewing groove 12. Compared to using a single sponge strip with a length similar to the second sewing groove 12, multiple equally spaced sponge strips allow for replacement of only the damaged parts when some sponge strips are damaged or aged, without needing to replace the entire pressing component, thus reducing maintenance costs and workload. In addition, the gaps between the multiple equally spaced sponge strips facilitate air circulation, allowing the fabric to breathe better during pressing. This is particularly important for fabrics prone to static electricity or sensitive to temperature and humidity, reducing deformation caused by poor breathability. The multiple equally spaced sponge strips also allow for more flexible adjustment of pressure distribution, ensuring that the fabric does not wrinkle or shift due to excessive or insufficient local pressure during sewing.

[0037] Furthermore, the guide 15 includes a fishbone strip bonded to the base plate 1 and multiple fishbone lines extending from one end of the fishbone strip and covering part of the first sewing groove 11.

[0038] In this embodiment, the herringbone strips and threads are made of materials such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. These materials provide the herringbone strips with a certain degree of flexibility and strength, meeting the needs of templates in different shapes. They are also relatively inexpensive, easy to process and mold, and can be produced in various specifications and shapes. Furthermore, these materials have good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, are not easily affected by sewing tools and environmental factors, and can maintain good performance even after prolonged use. In addition, the herringbone thread can determine the direction of the fabric position during sewing, ensuring the stitching follows a predetermined path, improving the accuracy and uniformity of the sewing after gathering, and ensuring consistent gathering and sewing results. Moreover, during frequent use, the edges of the sewing template are prone to wear. The herringbone thread can serve as an edge protection structure for the template, reducing the direct contact between the sewing machine needle and the template during sewing, thus reducing template wear and extending its service life.

[0039] Furthermore, two lower anti-slip components 16 are provided. One lower anti-slip component 16 is located at one end of the herringbone strip and close to the herringbone line, while the other lower anti-slip component 16 is located at the other end of the herringbone strip. In this embodiment, the guide component 15 is fixed to the base plate 1 by the two lower anti-slip components 16. On the one hand, the two lower anti-slip components 16 can play a better positioning role, preventing the fabric from shifting during sewing and affecting the sewing effect. On the other hand, they also play a better role in fixing and protecting the guide component 15, improving the service life of the guide component 15. In addition, when the fabric is placed on the base plate 1, the lower anti-slip components 16 also play a separating role, preventing relative friction between the fabric and the guide component 15 due to surface contact during sewing, which would affect the smoothness of the fabric and the shaping effect of the gathered sewing.

[0040] Furthermore, the side positioning member 13 is provided with scale lines. In this embodiment, the scale lines on the side positioning member 13 are arranged along a direction parallel to the first sewing groove 11. When the fabric is placed on the base plate 1, the left edge of the fabric is aligned with the left edge of the upper anti-slip member 14 and / or the lower anti-slip member 16, and the right edge of the fabric is aligned with the scale lines according to the size after pleating. The scale lines on the side positioning member 13 facilitate workers to observe the width of the fabric after pleating and positioning, ensuring the effect after pleating and sewing.

[0041] Furthermore, a lifting member 3 is also provided on the base plate 1. One end of the lifting member 3 is adhered to the base plate 1, and the other end of the lifting member 3 extends out from the edge of the base plate 1. To reduce the space occupied by the sewing template when it is not in use, the cover plate 2 is usually placed on the base plate 1. When the worker uses the sewing template, the worker can create a gap between the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 by gently pulling the lifting member 3. The worker can then insert their fingers between the two to flip the cover plate 2 off the base plate 1 to place the fabric on the base plate 1.

[0042] In summary, the present invention provides a pleating and sewing template for lightweight fabrics, comprising: a base plate, wherein the base plate is provided with a first sewing groove, an upper positioning member located on one side of the first sewing groove, and a side positioning member located on the other side of the first sewing groove; an upper anti-slip member is provided between the first sewing groove and the upper positioning member, and a guide member is provided between the first sewing groove and the side positioning member; a lower anti-slip member is provided above the guide member;

[0043] A cover plate and a base plate are rotatably connected. The cover plate has a second sewing groove corresponding to the first sewing groove, and a pressing member is provided on the side of the second sewing groove. The cover plate is placed on the base plate, and the pressing member corresponds to the position of the lower anti-slip member. Using the pleating sewing template for lightweight fabrics of this application can effectively improve the problem of difficulty in controlling the size and width of pleats when manually drawing lines and pinching pleats, reducing sewing errors and improving sewing quality.
