Ruffles Have Ridges

3/31/2018

I'm finally back in the sewing room and my latest project calls for long decorative ruffled strips.   How tedious...sigh...

Hold on, didn't Singer make an attachment for that?

​I'm embarrassed to admit that after all these years of loving, refurbishing, and selling these machine I never actually took the time to learn how to use the ruffler.   Time to correct that omission.  So today I pulled out my sewing machine manual and learned something new.  

And let me tell you, the ruffler is a pretty nifty little gadget.  As always, I am amazed at how Greist and Singer found ways to make repetitive sewing tasks simple, precise, and fast.  

​Here's what it looks like:  
So now we've seen it, but how does it work?   
I could try to describe it, but it's so much better to see it in action. 
 

So there you have it - how to use a ruffler.  I'm honestly shocked that I never tried it before.  It's actually very easy to use and the results are beautiful.  

Why not give it a try!    


Happy Sewing!
Barbara

Thanks for the video of the ruffler. I've looked at them for years but never had the courage to figure them out.

Same here! It was always just something in the accessory set that wasn't relevant to me. But what a nifty tool!

I have an old machine with the ruffler attachment, did not have the slightest idea where to start. Thanks!

I have never forgotten a line in an old Alisa Craig cozy mystery novel in which a garden society was making costumes for a play. " . . . because she was the only one who not only had a ruffle attachment for her machine, but actually knew how to make it work." So true; we most of us have them, but so few of us can use them.
