The sole does not lie evenly flat on the feed
dog, and therefore feeds the fabric unevenly,
causing the desired gathering. The slot on the
foot enables a flat piece of fabric to be sewn
directly onto the piece being gathered in a single
operation.
The gathering foot is available in a narrow and
a wide version. The latter is for sewing machines
with 9mm stitch width, but may also be used
with 5.5mm machines.
The basting-stitch function lets you create more
narrow
pleats on thick fabrics. With all fabrics, higher
wide
thread tension produces narrower pleats.

Although the ruffler looks somewhat complicated,
it's easy to handle. When inserting this attachment,
take care that the fork arm comes to rest around
the needle screw. The up-and-down movement of
the needle causes the ruffler blade to move in and
out, taking hold of a bit of the fabric each time and
slipping it under the needle.
