SINGER 201K - Manual (Page 44)

The ruffling blade forms the gathers or
pleats by carrying the fabric to the needle
according to the spacing and fullness to
which the ruffler is adjusted. The separa­
tor guide is slotted to guide seam edges
evenly and to separate the ruffle strip
from the material to which the ruffle is
attached.
Preparation
Raise the needle to its highest point.
Locate the attachment on the machine
in place of the regular presser foot, and at
the same time fit the fork of the driving
lever over the needle clamp screw. Make
sure both the presser bar screw and the
needle clamp screw are tightened securely.
Gathering
0 Set adjusting lever on No. 1 setting,
• Throw adjusting finger out of action.
0 Turn adjusting screw for amount of
fullness desired.
The attachment is set for maximum
fullness by turning adjusting screw in
(clockwise) as far as possible ; for less
fullness, turn adjusting screw out (anti­
clockwise).
0 Set stitch length to space the fullness.
A short stitch gives more fullness than
a long stitch.
MATeRtAL
Insert material to be gathered between
the blue blades and through the first
separator guide.
Lower presser bar and stitch. Always
test the stitch length and ruffler
setting on a scrap of self fabric before
proceeding with the actual work.
