Using a Sewing Machine Ruffle Foot

I Got a ruffle foot for my sewing machine and I have gone ruffle crazy!


I have wanted one for a while and they are not cheap but, a girl cannot put a price on fun!


This foot attaches to your sewing machine
Each machine will have it's own model foot


I have a Baby Lock ESe2 and it was $49.99 (Like we wouldn't figure out that was ...um..$50.00)

It has 3 ruffle settings


I used the second one for all of my projects


I tore 2 inch strips of muslin fabric, then ran them thru the ruffler.


Paris and ruffles, does it get any better?


A bag with a vintage label from who else but Graphics Fairies.  Vintage lace, buttons, and of course ruffles.


A hanging pillow 
all of these projects are available at
The Polka Dot Closet


The ruffler makes great little shabby flowers


If you like ruffles and you have thought about getting a ruffle foot...Do it!  
It is so much fun and I have not even begun to play, I still have to ruffle ribbon, lace, and other fabrics.


I am ruffling everything in sight!

I am just warning you, I think my blog has a lot of ruffle posts in it's future!

Happy Crafting

    Fabulous Foot. Ruffles are all the rage so it seems only right that you can now ruffle everything in sight. I think the kitty with ruffles is the cutest. Happy ruffling...

    LOL! Carol - I got one a few months ago for my machine...

    I'm still ruffling the world. Just so you know - it takes A LONG TIME for the rufflin' fun to wear off!

    Your pillow is GORGEOUSNESS!!! LOVE the flower!!!

    Have fun!

    Oooooooo DOGGY! I had no idea such a thing existed?!? I just love what you made here. I am seriously tempted to get one of my own. I'll need a good ruffle project first!
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi Carol...GET OUT! Please do not tell me that making ruffles is that easy! I have been wanting to do some ruffles, etc., but the thought of running stitches and doing hand gathering, etc. makes me want to just say forget it! How does it work...you just run the fabric through like normal but because of the foot, it automatically "ruffles" it for you? Don't tell me it's THAT easy? Everything looks just gorgeous! You are one talented chick!

    Hi Carol,
    I've thought about buying a ruffler foot too.
    Now that I see all your pretty ruffles, I just might have to have one!
    Do you think they will have us committed for ruffle mania or ruffle obsessive compulsive disorder! LOL!

    Love you girl, your the best and the cutest eva!!

    hugs

    Ok, I had NO IDEA that there was such a thing! Is it really as easy as feeding the material in and it magically folds the ruffles? lol Your projects are gorgeous. I love them all.

    I couldnt live without my ruffle foot! I think mine was $80 for my Viking machine, but worth every single penny!
