RUFFLER
Adjusting Points. 1. The adjusting lever sets
the ruffler for gathers or pleats.
The Number 1
space setting is for gathers, and places fullness at
every stitch. Numbers 6 and 12 are space settings
for pleats, Spacing them either 6 or 12 stitches
apart. The star- is for straight stitching, and is
used when grouping gathers or pleats.
2. The adjusting fìnger is used only for pleat
ing
and affects the width of the pleat. It is thrown
out of action by bringing it out of contact with
the adjusting screw, located directly above it.
3. The adjusting screw regulates the fullness
of gathers or pleats.
When turned down to its
limit with the adjusting liiiger in place, the at
tachment is set for its deepest pleat. When turned
upward to its limit and the adjusting finger out
of action, the ruffler gives only a hint of fullness.
