THE RÜFFLER (Cont’d)

Length of sewing machine stitch

also affects ruffle fullness. Since a

given attachment setting puts an

equal amount of fullness into each

stitch regardless of its length, shorten

ing the stitch (more stitches to inch)

makes ruffle fuller; lengthening the

stitch (fewer stitches to inch) makes it less

full. For fine, closely spaced gathering, use

a short stitch and an outward adjustment of

adjusting screw. For deeper, less closely

spaced gathering, turn adjusting screw

inward and use a medium length stitch.

RUFFLING

MATERIAL

# Draw to back of needle.

# Lower presser bar and stitch.

Fabric texture influences performance of

ruffler as well as results. Soft fabrics, cut

on crosswise grain, are best adapted for

gathering ruffles. Always test stitch length

and ruffler setting on a scrap of self-fabric

before proceeding with the actual work.
