Fancy little piece, eh? That’s what I thought when I saw this one online. At the time, I was on my first attempt to make a home business by selling clothing online on Etsy.
I knew that I did not have enough money for a fancy new sewing machine, but I needed to work faster with more professional results.
That is why I started looking at alternatives for it, the presser feet were my answer.
This was the fanciest one LOL

PARTS:
The ruffler has basically two main parts that will determine the width of the ruffle and the spaces in between. That means that you will be able to make as many combinations as you like!Looking at the picture below, the orange wheel will determine the width of the ruffles.
The plaque at the top will give three options:1 ruffle per each stitch
1 ruffle per 6 stitches
1 ruffle per 12 stitches.

SETTINGS
Take your regular presser foot off and attach the ruffler by engaging it with the screw.
The fabric should go in between two little black plaques at the bottom.
Put the setting on your machine for the needle in the middle, straight stitch.

I have tried two settings, the shortest stitch with 1 ruffle per stitch (left side) and the middle width stitch with 1 ruffle per 6 stitches. Those were the results in no time!

Tutorial: Shirring Fabric in 5 easy steps
I am glad to share this post today because shirring fabric is one of the easiest techniques you can learn to make your outfits outstanding and looking professional.
IF you are into kids’ clothing, you have noticed that this technique is used a lot! Why? Because as kids’ grew fast and it gets hard to find them clothes, shirring tops, and waistband come in handy to make the outfit last longer.Here are some projects that I have used the shirring technique:

1. Place the elastic thread manually in a bobbin
2. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case

5. Place the fabric, right side facing up and start sewing! Make a many parallel lines as you want.
And done!
