Product Information

Ruffles are often created as embellishments. However, there will be instances wherein you hope to create ruffles that attach to a flat piece of material.

It’s mostly done on a piece of fabric with a large width, so as to provide that cascading effect. How to Add RufflesOften, those who make their first ruffles discover that they’re uneven, hitched on one part of the fabric, or are prone to unraveling. As such, beginners end up with sore hands and creased fabric. This ruffle is created by gathering a strip of fabric along one edge with a basting stitch. They’re often attached to a flat piece of fabric and used along hemlines. Double Edge Ruffles For this reason, it’s always best to work on a flat surface, sectioning off the fabric to ensure that both pieces remain securely in place. The second setting, indicated by the number 12, will make a pleat every 12 stitches. The third setting, with number six, will pleat every six stitches. The last setting, with the number one, will pleat after every stitch.

With this style, you’ll create interesting designs just by changing the pattern or the type of fabric. Waterfall Ruffles What is the usual way to make ruffles? The most basic method is to sew a basting stitch about ¼ inch from the edge of your fabric.This method from the Seasoned Homemaker leverages a basting stitch and two different colored yarns; as such, it’s a great approach for sewing ruffles without special feet. When attaching a ruffle by hand, be sure to iron it before proceeding, so as to avoid unsightly creases or an uneven final product. While they look simple enough, ruffles are often problematic for beginning sewists, mainly due to the trouble of making full, even gathers of fabric lay properly.
