RUFFLER
Fabric: Medium weight cotton, 12” x 4”
Needle: 80/12 Universal
Thread: All-purpose sewing
Presser Foot: Ruffler Attachment #86 (optional accessory)
• Trim fabric with wavy rotary cutter before sewing.
• Select the Straight Stitch #1/green - SL 1mm-5mm. The longer the stitch length, the deeper
the pleat.
• Needle position is center.
• Set the adjustment lever on the attachment at 1.
• Place the fabric to be ruffled between the two blades, snugging it against the edge of the
seam guide slot, making sure it is slightly beyond the needle.
• Lower the foot and begin sewing.
• If gathers are too deep, turn the adjusting screw counter clockwise; if too shallow, turn the
screw clockwise.
Note: Loosening the needle tension to 3-4 will allow some subsequent
adjustment of the fullness.
