Folds (textile)
The folds of textiles includes both the merging and the care and design aspects. While orderly wrinkles are desirable, wrinkling is undesirable.
Laying and removing wrinkles
Laying as well as removing wrinkles is done with the iron . In addition to the heat, steaming increases the effect of the pressure. Most textiles are folded in order to store them . The dimensions of the storage location, often a cupboard, then determine the type of folding. The utility also deals with the rational folding laundry.
Tunnel finishers are used for the factory removal of creases.
When ironing or pressing, depending on the clothing, deliberate creases are created . These are in many trousers usual, at least with pleated skirts and dress pants. For trousers with a crease, there is a crease per leg at the front and back .
Drapery
The drapery is one of the most important shaping techniques in the production and draping of clothing , but also of utility and furnishing textiles , and for upholstery .
A typical pleated piece of clothing is the pleated skirt , as it appears in many traditional costumes . Narrow, pressed, evenly running folds in textiles are known as pleated blinds (French: plissé ). In decoration and interior design there are numerous pleating and folding techniques, such as the Flemish fold or the pleated blind .
