0.01 M/C Code: MA, MB, MC, CA, CB, CC, CE, EA, EB, EC The Ruffler Foot is used to create perfectly spaced pleats and gathers. It can also make pleated or gathered ruffles that are simultaneously stitched to a project. Parts of the Ruffler: a. Ruffler Regulator—determines the frequency of the tucks 1 = every stitch creates a tuck 6 = every 6th stich creates a tuck 12 = every 12th stitch creates a tuck • = no tucks are created b. Adjusting Screw or Indicator—determines the depth of the tucks (Settings 0-8, with 0 for the least fullness and 8 for the deepest pleats) c. Ruffling Blade—forms the gathers or pleats by pushing the fabric to the needle d. Separator Blade—bottom plate of the attachment e. Separator Guides—slots to guide the edge of the fabric To Make a Ruffle or Gather: 1. Remove the regular presser foot and attach the Ruffler Foot - the fork arm goes around the needle screw clamp then attach to the shank with the screw. Secure the screw. 2. Set the machine for a straight stitch. 3. Adjust stitch length. (A shorter stitch length creates pleats that are closer together.) 4. Check that the needle clears the hole in the ruffle attachment. 5. Position the fabric right side up between the ruffling blade and the separator blade and under the first separator guide. 6. Push the ruffling blade towards the needle. 7. Stitch gathers or pleats. To Make a Ruffle and Attach to Fabric in One Operation: 8. Follow Steps 1-4, and then proceed with Step 9. 9. Position the fabric to be ruffled or gathered, right side down, between the ruffling blade and the separator blade and under the first separator guide. 10. Place the fabric that will remain flat right side up, between the separator blade and the machine feed dogs and under the first separator guide. 11. Push the ruffling blade towards the needle. 12.
