Fabric hanging and pleating bracket with stabilizing elements

A fabric hanging and pleating bracket with sectional components, comprising:

• a. an elongated holding bar including a lower strip with a bottom edge, an upper strip with a top edge offset outwardly and forwardly from the lower strip, and, an intermediate strip linking the lower strip and upper strip;
• b. a plurality of prongs extending upwardly from the upper strip top edge for piercing and holding fabric;
• c. at least one separable hanger unit removably coupled to and projecting forwardly from the holding bar, the hanger unit having a front wall shaped to assist in forming a fabric pleat and a pair of rearwardly extending shoulder;
• d. spikes extending upwardly from a top edge of the hanger unit for piercing and supporting fabric;
• e. a plurality of stabilizing means integrally formed at longitudinally spaced intervals with the holding bar -- wherein each individual stabilizing means is a flange struck upwardly and forwardly from an edge section of the holding bar lower strip and is formed with a plurality of horizontally aligned parallel gaps defining at least three forwardly projecting tongues, and, at least one of the hanger unit shoulders is inserted into a gap and restrained from lateral movement by adjacent tongues,
• wherein when fabric is laid generally against the holding bar and hanger unit and drawn over the prongs and spikes, a section of the fabric will be formed into a pleat.
