Account for Fabric Hidden Inside Knife Pleats
A finished pleated panel hides fabric in every fold. Calculate that take-up before cutting, so the visible width is not accidentally used as the starting width.

FIRST-LOAD
Research prototype — checkout unavailable. Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the pleat take-up ladder: your panel | knife pleat count | depth of each fold cm stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Doubling an already doubled measurement overestimates the hidden fabric. After: the pleat take-up ladder shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Boundary and sources
Simple knife-pleat geometry, not a replacement for a garment pattern. Confirm dimensions with a mock-up and use safe cutting and pressing practices.
- Method: Starting width = finished visible width + 2 × pleat count × depth. A 50 cm panel with five 2 cm pleats starts at 70 cm before seams, hems and shrinkage.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this pleat take-up ladder, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a pleat take-up ladder. Return plain rows only: panel | knife pleat count | depth of each fold cm. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: panel | knife pleat count | depth of each fold cm. No AI response is executed as code.
