The turnover device is configured to flip a margin of the subject fabric article delimited by a preset fold line. The fold line adjuster is configured such that a lateral movement of the guiding portion changes a width of margin of the subject fabric article that engages with a curved surface of the turnover device to alter the fold line. The pleat generator is configured to create and regulate widths of pleats while moving the subject fabric article.
