the blades, and shirr at any de­
sired distance.

and cloth above,

To Put Ruffling on a Band Edge Stitched With
or Without Piping.
Take striped calico or plain colored goods, cut on the bias in
strips full one half inch wide, folding in center. Place the piping
in guide 7 with folded edge to the right, then take the band and turn
down on edge a quarter of an inch and place in guide 8 having both
ends down under foot. The guide can be adjusted to right or left by
loosening screw 9. Place the ruffling to the right between the blades
and in guide 4; if wider ruffling is desired remove separator and us€
shirring slide. To use facing with shirring slide place facing unde:
shirring blade 1 and in guides 2 and 4.
To Make Heavy Pleating.
Cut Lonsdale cambric in strips one inch wide lengthwise of the
goods, fold in the center and press the folded edge down smooth.
Adjust the goods with folded edge to the left and between the
springs of>ruffler, then in gauge 4 (see page 16). Set a long stitch,
turn adjusting nut 5 to No. 4 on gauge, placing the band in guide 8
in the same manner as when using piping. This will make a very
large sized pleat and be stitched on the band.
To Make Scallop Ruffling.
Place the goods in rufiier just the same as for making large'
pleats, except to remove guage 4 from rufiier and shorten the stitch
of machine. While sewing, move the goods to the right and lef^
alternately and far enough to make the scallops of desired depth
Scallops can be made of uniform length by counting the same num. '
ber of stitches between each alternate movement to the right or left.
