Ruffler Foot Made Sew Easy It's Hands Free!

If you've ever used a ruffler foot you will know you need to guide your fabric carefully.

I've been making a Victorian Gown. That means lots of ruffley goodness. I have about 150 meters of ribbon I'm using on this project most of which I've been pleating using my sewing machines ruffler foot. 
Carefully guiding that much yardage through would drive me insane!

I needed a way to make it easy and fast without needing a lot of concentration.

I needed to automate guiding that ribbon through.

It's so easy and simple and effective I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier.

      He stood posing long enough for me to take a shot - I'm so glad I got one that worked.

      I didn't even think about the sky - that's what it usually looks like here. Blue, with a bit more blue, broken up with some blue.

      In my apple tree. They come and steal all the apples every year. People keep asking why we don't net the tree to keep them from being stolen. I think having the Twenty-eights visit is reason enough.

      I've tried for 3 weeks to get a decent shot of him to link up - I wanted one of him with an apple in his mouth. Maybe next time.

    Does he have 28 rings on his neck? Is he the 28th parrot photo??
    Then, I read your answer to Pixiedust, and figured maybe 28 is their name. Ain't I smart??!! ;)
