Piping a Ruffle
Insert the material to be ruffled between the
two blue blades, following the line 2, in Fig.
26. This material must not be over 1 1/4 inch-
es wide, as it is carried through the ruffler
with the finished edge of the ruffle to the right
of the attachment as shown In Fig. 30
The material for piping must measure about
1/4 inch wide when folded in the centre and
is usually cut on the bias. Place the piping
material in the ruffler, following the line 4, in
Fig. 26, with the folded edge of the piping to
the right. The material to which the piping and
ruffling are to be sewn should be folded on
the edge and inserted in the ruffler, following
the line 5, in Fig. 26.
To Adjust the Ruffler for Plaiting
Raise the adjusting lever (E, Fig. 31) and
move it to the right so that the projection (D,
Fig. 31) will enter the slot marked "6" in the
adjusting lever when the lever is released.
The ruffling blade will then move forward and
back once at every six stitches. To adjust the
ruffling blade to make a plait once at every
twelve stitches, place the adjusting lever (E,
Fig. 31) so that the projection (D) enters the
slot marked "12" in the adjusting lever. Insert
the material to be plaited between the two
blue blades, following the line 2, (Fig. 26).
The size or width of plaits is regulated by the
adjusting screw (C, Fig. 31) and the adjusting
finger (F, Fig. 31). To make a wider plait,
move the adjusting finger (F) back or toward
the needle and turn the adjusting screw (C)
downwardly. To make a smaller plait, turn the
adjusting screw (C) upwardly. The distance
between plaits is regulated by the length of
stitch.
