THE RÜFFLER (Confd)
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, shortening 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.
Insert material to be gathered be
tween blue blades and through first
separator guide.
MATERIAL
Draw to back of needle.
Lower presser bar and stitch.
Fabric
texture
influences
perform
ance 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.
