THE RÜFFLER
Fork
arm
Adjusting
lever
This attachment offers a simple and
effective way to make gathered and
pleated ruffles. Ruffles may be made sepa­
rately or made and applied at the same
time. The ruffler is attached to the presser
bar in place of the regular presser foot.
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 finger is used only
for pleating
and affects the width of the
pleat. It is thrown out of action by bring­
ing it out of contact with the adjusting
screw, located directly to the right of it.
3. The adjusting screw regulates the
fullness of gathers or pleats.
When tur­
ned in to its limit with the adjusting
finger in place, the attachment is set for
its deepest pleat. When turned' outward
to its limit with the adjusting finger out
of action, the ruffler gives only a hint of
fullness.
