To Adjust the Ruffler for

Group Plaiting and Gathering

The ruffler can be adjusted for group plaiting by lifting the adjusting lever (E Fig. 32) and moving it to the right so that the top of the projection (D, Fig. 32) engages the small slot indicated by the star on the adjusting lever. This should be done at the points where you wish to make the space between the plaits. The ruffler will then stop and plain stitching will be made. When the desired space has been made, adjust the lever (E) so that the projection (D) enters either the slot marked "6" or the slot marked "12." By alternately making groups of plaits and plain spaces, as shown in Fig. 32, very attractive work can be produced.

To Oil the Ruffler

Occasionally apply a drop of oil to the work- ing parts of the ruffler at each of the places indicated by arrows in Fig. 32. After oiling, operate the ruffler on a waste piece of materi- al to prevent the oil soiling the work. If the ruf- fler does not plait evenly, a drop of oil may remedy the trouble.
