To Adjust the Ruffler for Gatherings
F ig . 60
Raise the adjusting lever (E, Fig. 60) and move it
to the left so that the projection (D, Fig. 60) will
enter the slot marked
“1” in the adjusting lever (E)
when the lever is released. The ruffling blade will
then move forward and back once at every stitch.
Insert the material to be ruffled between the two
blue blades, following the line 2 in Fig. 59. Draw
the material slightly back of the needle, lower the
presser bar and commence to sew.
To make fine gathering, shorten the stroke of the
ruffling blade by turning the adjusting screw (C, Fig.
60) upward; also shorten the stitch. To make full
gathering, lengthen the stroke of the ruffling blade
by turning the adjusting screw (C) downward; also
lengthen the stitch. By varying these adjustments,
many pleasing varieties of work can be accomplished.
