Learned something new today. You may already know but I didn't. Struggling to make a ruffle with machine and hand gathering I could not get it right. So looked on you tube for an easier way. I set my tension on my machine at the very highest and the stitch length at the longest. Stitched away and perfect. Stitch on the back side of the fabric and ruffle come out on front. Thank you youtube.

Wow! I'm going to try this. I hate gathering a ruffle by hand.

Well that sure sounds cheaper than buying one of those expensive ruffler feet for the machine. Thanks.
I know I can use that.

Isn't you tube great? I'm glad you found a good answer. I've also heard that if you hold your finger at the back of the foot as the fabric is coming out,so the fabric bunches up some, that it will encourage ruffling. I have a ruffler and a gathering foot that came with my machine. I love the ruffler!! It makes such perfect ruffles.

That sounds even easier than Nancy's pull bobbin thread up through and match with top thread the length of ruffle, zig, zag and pull to length, which replaced the zig zag over button hole thread! My things do change! Live Laugh Download Stitch! christine

Can't find the link I saw yesterday,the woman was making pillowcases. Try it,you don't need a video. Put machine tension at it's highest and stitch length at it's longest.

Thanks for the tip another one is to place crochet cotton on your fabric and zig zag over it then when to want to ruffle just pull the crochet cotton no breakages as the cotton is strong.hugs carol
