127-3 & 128-3 Ruffler -- Principal Parts continued... To Adjust the Ruffler for Gathering H -- RUFFLING BLADE--the upper blue steel blade with the teeth at the end to push the material in plaits up to the needle. J -- SEPARATOR BLADE--the lower blue steel blade without teeth, which prevents the teeth of the ruffling blade coming into contact with the feed of the machine, or the material to which ruffling or plaiting is to be applied. To Attach the Ruffler to the Machine Raise tile needle bar to its highest point and remove the presser foot. Attach the ruffler foot, (A, Fig. 26)) to the presser bar by means of the thumb screw, at the same time placing the fork arm (B, Fig. 26) astride the needle clamp as shown in Fig. 27. The adjusting finger (F, Fig. 27) is not intended for gathering and should be moved forward or away from the needle, as shown in Fig. 27. Raise the adjusting lever (E, Fig. 27) and move it to the left so that the projection (D, Fig. 27) will enter the slot marked "1" in the adjusting lever (E) when the lever is released. The ruffling blade will then move forward and back once at every stitch. Insert the material to be ruffled between the two blue blades, following the line 2 in Fig. 26. Draw the material slightly back of the needle, lower the presser bar and commence to sew. To make fine gathering, shorten the stroke of the ruffling blade by turning the adjusting screw (C, Fig. 27) upwardly, also shorten the stitch. To make full gathering, lengthen the stroke of the ruffling blade by turning the adjusting screw (C) downwardly, also lengthen the stitch. By varying these adjustments, many pleasing varieties of work can be accomplished. FIG. 27. Table of Contents Previous Page | Next Page 22
