Can you see the perfectly spaced pleats in this ruffle? I made each and every one by hand.
Errr... uhhh... They were made with a brand spankin' new ruffler attachment on my sewing machine.
I had no idea this existed, and now I can't believe I ever made a ruffle without one. Thanks to a suggestion from The Infamous Pam Kitty Morning, I went ahead and bought one of these sweet babies. And I just made 350 inches of ruffle for a project in about 5 minutes.
Mine has three settings for spacing the ruffles, and I haven't tried it yet, but apparently you can create your ruffle, and attach it all in one fell swoop too.
So... ahem... if a ruffle-less project ceases to exist around here, you'll know why.
(((Since I know you now have to have one... To get one for your machine, contact the store you got your sewing machine from or the manufacturer.)))
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
