I have to take a little minute to chit chat about my new Ruffler. This amazing little device can save you minutes, nay hours of hand-gathering! I got this little baby when I started working on a children’s pattern with an absurd amount of ruffles (I just can’t help it! I adore ruffles!). The ruffles are perfect (you can choose a ruffle at every 1, 6, or 12 stitches thereby also creating the most perfect pleat).
If you are an avid sewer + ruffle-person (please tell me I’m not the only one out there), you would love this device (BTW, Bernina did not put me up to this…it is simply my own little obsession. Josh is tired of me pushing guests into my studio to show them how amazing it is!).
Just as a side note, the MeadowLark™ giveaway ends tomorrow! Be sure and enter by adding a comment in the post below!
So cool – I am making skirts for my girls and was dreading the ruffles – thank you!! 🙂 You can also find a video showing how it works here http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n25-r-i59-sUS.html
Hehe Carina. Not just your obsession 🙂 I am still not comfortable with mine but I was given one for my birthday… it didn’t quite fit my Husky machine so I looked at getting one that would fit it… and in the end, ended up buying a new inexpensive machine for $150 that I am going to use for specialty feet as it was going to cost me $100 for a ruffler for my Husky. I also wanted a walking foot which would be another $100 for the Husky or $20 for my new inexpensive machine… so now I have my Husky & my “specialty foot” backup machine. Next up… looking at getting an elastic foot and a piping foot for my serger as I LOVE my piping foot for my sewing machine. You are obsessed with ruffles & I am obsessed with piping. 🙂
I don’t know how one could NOT be in love with ruffles!!! I am not a very accomplished sewer, but I get by… 🙂 Wondering if this foot is available for most machines? I have a little singer….
That’s cool! I didn’t know those existed. Thanks for the tip!
Hmm I’m going to have to see if I have one of these for my machine… or if I already have one.
I have an ancient one by Singer that was my mom’s. Many times I watched her use it but I have yet to tackle it. Maybe, one day I will have a granddaughter and will be motivated to get it out!
