FOOT #86 Classic Ruffler

This attachment is designed for gathering and pleating fabrics. Thanks to its variable setting options, both pleat depth and frequency of gather can be varied, from every stitch, every 6th stitch, to every 12th stitch, as you choose. There's also the option of sewing without pleating, without replacing the presser foot (ruffler setting = 0).

Gathering is performed by the special gathering blade, which causes the up-and-down motion of the needle to catch a bit of fabric each time and slip it under the needle. The result: neat, even gathering and pleats on home furnishings or garments. The depth of the pleat can be infinitely varied by turning the adjusting screw.

Includes the #75 adapter needed for attaching the ruffler to the machine
