Ruffler #86 is a specialist in the simple gathering and pleating of fabrics.  Thanks to its variable setting options, both pleat depth and frequency of gather can be varied.  This means that Ruffler #86 can set a pleat with every stitch, every 6th stitch, or 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.
