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.

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.
