edge of the ruffle to the right of the attachment
as -shown in Fig. 62.
The material for piping must measure about }4.
inch wide when folded in the centre and is usually
cut on the bias. Place the piping material in the
ruffler, following the line 4, in Fig. ;iS, with the
folded edge of the piping to the right. The material
to which the piping and ruffling are to be sewn
should be folded on the edge and inserted in the
ruffler, following the line o, in Fig. 58.
To Adjust the Ruffler for Plaiting
Raise the adjusting lever (E, Fig. 63) and move
it to the right so that the projection (D, Fig. 63)
FIG. 13
will enter the slot marked "6" in the adjusting lever
when the lever is released. The ruffling blade will
then move forward and back once at every six
stitches. To adjust the ruffling blade to make a
plait once at every twelve stitches, place the adjust-
ing lever (E, Fig. 63) so that the projection (D)
enters the slot marked "12" in the adjusting lever.
Insert the material to be plaited between the two
blue blades, following the line 2, (Fig. 5H) The size
or width of plaits is regulated by the adjusting screw
59
(C, Fig. 63} and the adjusting finger (F, Fig. 63).
To make a wider plait, move the adjusting finger
(F) back or toward the needle and turn the adjust-
ing screw (C) downwardly. To make a smaller
plait, turn the adjusting screw (C) upwardly. The
distance between plaits is regulated by the length
of stitch.
To Adjust the Ruffler for
Group Plaiting and Gathering
The ruffler can be adjusted i'or group plaiting by
lifting the adjusting lever (E, Fig. b'4) and moving
FIG. 64
it to the right so that the top of the projection
(D, Fig. 64) enters the small slot indicated by the
star on the adjusting lever. This should be done at
the points where you wish to make the space be-
tween the plaits. The ruffler will then stop and
plain stitching will he made. When the desired space
has been made, adjust, the lever (E) so that the pro-
jection (D) enters either the slot marked "6" or the
slot marked "12". By alternately making groups of
plaits and plain spaces, as shown in Fig. 64, very
attractive work can be produced.
