• The slot of the foot allows the gathering of one piece of fabric while it is being attached to another (ungathered) layer. A ruffle can be made and attached in one operation
• The amount of gathering can be adjusted by varying stitch length and needle thread tension
• For heavier fabrics, the use of the long stitch or basting stitch will facilitate gathering
• The distance between rows of gathering ranges from a minimum of 3/16" (5mm) to a maximum of 3/8" (10mm)
• For applications where exact control of the gathering ratio is required, consider the use of the Bernina® Ruffler (# 86).
