"Sandra, You can buy pleating boards at different sizes. Mine is around 1/4 inch deep. "

"Thanks for that info!"

"My grandfather, who was a Texas cattleman, had custom hats made by Stetson. I remember his hat had the "Cattleman Crease." Thanks for sharing!"

"One more thing that might help - I have an album on Flickr where you can see the pleater and process for making the nautilus cockade. Some of these photos will help a lot. https://www.flickr.com/gp/1hipchik/a0FLYP"

"Whoa! Which part is the car body sample and how did you attach it? It is thin metal yes? BRILLIANT idea and fabulous colours. #sustainablefashion #recycling are the tags for this. I hope you're sharing this beauty on instagram. Oooh la la!!!"

"Lali, I love seeing your workshop! Thank you for sharing this video and your talents! Austin"

"Well, it's lovely all the same."

"I would really love to go and hope I get to someday! And thank you for the compliment on my photo :-)"
