The Ruffler Foot pleats your fabric and gives you three different options of the size of pleat.
In this video, we show you how to use a Ruffler foot. We demonstrate how to install it and properly configure the settings. We also show to use it specifically on certain types of fabrics.

Thank you for your question! The screw in the front allows you to change the depth at which the pleat is formed. Basically, if you turn the screw knob further in, it will shove more fabric into the pleat. If you want less fabric shovel in to the pleat, unscrew the knob. Turn screw knob right = more fabric : Turn screw knob left = less fabric. =) Hope that helps!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought a ruffler foot from a local sewing machine seller but there was no box, nor instructions to go with it. Without you and the tutorial I never would have been able to do this. So Thank You!!!
OMG! I have been sewing for close to 50 years, can't tell you how many gathered items I have made the old fashioned way! I didn't even know this Ruffler foot existed! WOW! Just goes to show, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! THANK YOU!

Linda Onash Ahhhh Bless you chick :). I am new to all these different feet after 50 years too.

I find the classic way less complicated and with a better result, especially in the second part where she gathered a piece of fabric and stitched it to another (straight) piece of fabric.
Finally, clearly explained how's and why's and how's to set-up the fabric to go through the ruffler. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Can you use it to smock gathering
I completely agree! Older machines will last forever as long as you take care of them.
Thank you sooooooo much! I was VERY afraid of this thing when I received it in a box of attachments and couldn't wrap my brain around the written instructions. But thanks to watching this video a couple of times this afternoon, I was able to successfully complete a series of ruffles! So excited; thank you again.
Forgot to add I was able to use the gathering/shirring foot as well because of your thorough and clear videos!
Congratulations!!!
It is a scary looking foot 😳 I'm just trying It now. Thanks for taking the mystery out of using the ruffler foot
I didn't know how to thread the two layers of fabric until now, thanks for all these great tutorials.
Thank you for this video. I've had this ruffler foot in my sewing box for about 8 years and scared to death to use it! I watched the video twice and made the ruffle I needed! Thanks, again!!
I bought one and it arrived today.It had pathetic instructions and your tutorial has saved the day. Thanks
Our pleasure! So glad to have helped - enjoy!
Absolutely fabulous tutorial, thanks!! Very clear instructions. Now I can't wait to get my ruffler foot!
Thanks again. Great video and commentary. I didn't know you could sew two fabrics and ruffle the top one at the same time. How exciting!
Hi Kathy! I'm sorry you are having trouble with the ruffler foot. I've had that same problem before. The trick is to make sure your fabric is constantly being fed straight. Sometimes, I catch my fabric being pulled slightly to the left as it is "ruffled" (ie: as the fork part is shoving it into a pleat). You can also skip the over - under - over part entirely and feed directly to the "ruffling" fork. That way you can have more of a seam allowance.
Thank you so much! You just don't know how long I have been looking for some kind of informative instruction on using a ruffling foot. The foot comes with no instruction whatsoever - so pleased to find your video!!!
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Yup, this can definitely be used on tulle and netting. You insert it the same way you would insert any other fabric, you just need to make sure to adjust your thread tension and use the correct needle. For light weight fabric, you usually have a slightly higher tension setting.
Best ruffler tutorial I've seen. Thank you! very clear and easy to understand.
I like your video better than all I have seen on UA-cam, You did a great job explaining. I did have a hard time finding the correct needle position. I had to keep changing the stitch until it went into the center position.
Hi! Depending on the machine, needle position can be a real pain. Do you have a stitch width dial?
R Porter My snap-on ruffler has a tiny screw located on the right-hand side that moves the position left right so you don't have to move your needle. Do you have the one that uses the low shank snap on adapter? If so, you can adjust the metal plate so your needle easily goes into the hole. Make sure threads are UNDER the ruffler, push them toward the back.😊
Best foot ever
I discovered one in my Nans old sewing stuff I was clueless as to what it was and just experimented , I was like wow omg this is so fun to use !!
Omg! Thank you so much! This is a life changer! I ordered mines off Amazon with no directions! God Bless you hunty😘
I have watched many of your tutorials and I really enjoy them and I like this ruffler except for just now when you finished it you showed how the two pieces were attached, l would of liked to see the ruffle that would have been a nice ending since l am new at the attachment Thank you very much for explaining it. You are so helpful and adding much of my sewing skills 😍🥰
I've been searching for such a detailed video about the ruffler foot. Though I can follow written directions well, I like to be "shown" how things work, more. And, I never knew how you put the bottom piece of fabric over that first part of the front of the foot when you are sewing the ruffle onto it. This is a very informative video and i am so glad I found it before making my patchwork skirt I'm wanting to make soon. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel. 😻
Thank you very much for this video! Very well explained, I finally feel comfortable enough to try mine out!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for showing how this contraption works! I had to get one for a sewing seminar and got this going at home.
This was included with my machine, and I was like OMG WHAT IS THIS MONSTER? hahahaha...I love your tutorial and now I am going to ruffle away! You are awesome!
Thanks for clarifying how to use the ruffler foot!
Thanks, that was really awesome!! I have a ruffler from the 1960s for my 1967 Singer sewing machine and I'm going to use it to make pretty things thanks to your tutorial!!!
Woah vintage ruffler! Very cool!
Sewing Parts Online Yes!! I actually have a 2011 Janome Hello Kitty mechanical sewing machine (not computerized), which I use to mend and repair clothing, etc. however, I mostly use my Singer 348 (from 1967) for garment construction and some heavy duty stuff such as jeans. I find it more pleasurable to work my 60s machine than my modern one... which is why I decided to get a vintage ruffler for my Singer rather than shell out $60 for a modern ruffler. In the end, rufflers of back then and now are metal pieces put together to attach to a sewing machine to create ruffles. The only difference is price, as I got my ruffler as part of a 6 presser feet lot for $12 (including shipping). Yup! $12 beats spending $60 any day!
Amen to that! What a great deal! That Singer 348 will probably last for decades to come. Those vintage machines are built like a brick house!
i can't believe this tutorial is even more clearer then the last video i watched thank you very much for the help..
I have to tell you, I've watched so many videos of how to use the ruffler pressure foot and your video was the best! I bought the foot 2 weeks ago for a project and couldn't figure out how to use it. I feel confident now and that is all because of you.
Terry Brown I'm so glad we were able to help!! Good luck on your project!!
Thank you so much. I just gathered for the first time after watching this. I found this foot and wasnt sure what machine it went too or what is was.
That's great!
This is the best explanation on how to use this foot! Thank you.. I did not understand how to load the fabric!
I am getting a ruffler foot tomorrow. Very excited. Would love to see more videos of other ideas for that foot. You explain very clearly. Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you for the suggestion! We can definitely make more ruffler videos!
Thank you.
This was a great help!! Thank you so much! I just received my ruffler foot in the post today… no instructions 😳 Thank you for the installation and tips!!
Thank you so much for the detailed video on how to set up the ruffler! It was so helpful to me!
thank you for sharing this video it looks really fiddly i have purchased an old singer manual sewing machine so maybe it will be easy although the ruffler foot looks really complicated
hi, thank you so much for your demonstrations. They are life savers and very informative without too much information.
Thanks for teaching us how to use it...
Best ruffle foot tutorial I have seen! Can't wait to try to use my ruffle foot again
ClericMitsu Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!
Thank you very much! It is very helpful!!!
Thank you for this! Saved me hours of frustration!
Thank you for your quick response. I'm going to take a look and order it now.
Thank you for a fantastically clear tutorial! X
Thank you! Great, GREAT information!
Very clearly explained. Thank you!
Thank you!
so good to this
Hi! I am using a Brother LB 6800 PRW. Awesome machine!
Thanks for the demonstration... Very helpful...
Great job. Very pleased with the demo and also stitching and ruffling at the same time. Would never have thought to sew this way.
Kathy Bert Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
Very helpful information and instruction. Thank you
Wow, thats a pretty cool little foot attachment. I've seen them before but never in action. I like the way that little doo hickey pushes the fabric forward to make the pleat. I have a Bernina and the ruffle foot attachment is the size of a regular foot. I haven't used it yet but I have a feeling you don't get all the options that the Brother foot has.
Yes! Just make sure you use a ballpoint needle for the fabric type! Ruffles on Onesies = Adorable!
Thank you. Very clear video.
You are the best so far on how to use ruffles foot
Hi Sarah - your videos are great. I watch a lot of sewing demos on line and wanted to let you know that your's are the best. Thanks 'sew' much!
Susan Burns Thank you 'sew' much for the kind words!!!!
thanks i have a brother JX2517 and fit perfect
I loved this video. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thanks again. I'm just starting back sewing after about 15 year break and just bought a new machine and can't wait to start sewing my Yorkie some pretty dresses & outfits. Thanks so much.
Thank you.... 1st detailed video.... Blessings my love ❤️
Thank you so much for another great tutorial! You explain really well and the camera job is excellent! Have a great day! 😎🌸
Thank you so much for your kind words!
thanks for video, got it figured out now, with your help!
Thank you this was the best video on the net. I have a much better understanding of it now
Thank you for the superb Instructions! managed to figure out how to get mine working - the instructions that came with foot where useless :) thanks again :)
Thank you so very much for not only explaining, but showing exactly how to use the different feet! I've not sewn printed patterns in forever, yet have made outfits making my own patterns. I greatly appreciate how you explain in detail! 😁
thank you so much! keep going girl!😘
Thank you for the great explanations and closer detail
You're very welcome!
The way the top fabric feeds so much faster, it doesn't look like pinning would be possible.
Great .i learning how to use. diferent parts.thankyou.
Thank you Thank you so much!!! You just saved my sanity :D
that is so cool. thank you for the tutorial
Thank you. I need this foot.
Great tutorial thanks. I'm now going to purchase a Ruffler foot
Annemarie Campbell I sincerely hope someone advised you to check what type shank your sewing machine is. They are not interchangeable.(i.e. Low shank? high shank? or do you have a slant shank?).😊
beautiful! thank you so much!
Great demo!
Excellent video, thanks, God bless
that is my favorite foot..not because of what it does but because that looks like it should be in The Predator's first aide kit.
thank-you, very helpful!
Thank you, that is good information!
Thank you !
Thanks a million! 😎🌸
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.
Sunne Shaw Thanks for watching!
Awesome attachment. Need to get one! Tfs.
It's a ton of fun to use!
So helpful to me
Thank you so much for this I couldn’t get mine to work now I can see what I did wrong 😊
Great tutorial!! I just purchased the ruffle foot gadget. Thank you!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much
EXCELLENT video ... best one I've seen so far. THANK YOU.
P.S: Don't now the make of the 'foot' you are using but appears very similar to the Janome Ultimate Universal Ruffler which I have that works on my Kenmore (Model 385.19001) Computerized Sewing Machine which has a high shank and snap-on foot.
thank you very much! really appreciate your help! :)
Adorei o vídeo! pretendo comprar esse acessório.
Obrigado por assistir! É um ótimo acessório!
Yup, you sure can!
Ah you explain this so well. That foot literally looks like some sort of torture device lol but you show its easier than it first appears.
Good heavens, it looks like a torture machine hahaha
Excellent!
great tutorial
wow, outstanding video
Thanks, super hepful!
I need this in my life
That's for someone who doesn't want too many ruffles, just slight volume. But, you can change the stitch length for less or more ruffles, too. So, mostly for fine tuning.
thanks for the Video. It´s a wonderfull for the help.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Holy crud, lady! That is one fancy machine you've got there! Haha jealous (: mine is old and makes a loud CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK sound and has a pedal that sticks, or doesn't work at all. Then again, it hasn't been serviced in...definitely over ten years. xP great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Much appreciated!
very good
i have the same machine.imsoglad i found this site!
Which machine is in this demonstration? Thank you.
Hi! With the Bernina 1260 you have a couple options. You can buy the Bernina brand foot (##P60330) for $44.99. OR you can buy the lowshank adapter, which allows you to use all low shank feet, which are less expensive that Bernina brand feet. The low shank adapter (##0019477000) is $11.99, plus the low shank ruffler foot (#55705-NS) comes to $46.94. Which ever you decided, just enter the product numbers in the search box and you'll be taken directly to the product page.
Thank you your
You're welcome! We hope you are enjoying our videos!
