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.

what a clear shot , so much detail
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very nice of him to wait to have his photo taken.
Deletehey check that fella out! great shot
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it's a boy!
DeleteTripod? that is rather special
ReplyDeleteCarpark luck shot with fast shutter speed :o)
DeleteGoodness, what is it? Very pretty whatever it is and what long legs.
ReplyDeleteHe's a peewee. They've been misclassified for years until modern DNA testing. Wikipedia says '.... was traditionally placed somewhere in-between the mud nest builders and the currawong family (both of which look rather similar) but, in the light of modern DNA studies, is now grouped with the monarch flycatchers.'
DeleteFab capture - what sort of bird is it? Is it an Australian magpie?
ReplyDeleteIt's a peewee or magpie lark, they aren't actually a lark or a magpie - go figure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magpie-lark
DeleteGreat shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks :o)
DeleteWhat a very pretty bird x
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased he let me take his photo.

Deletea wonderful clear shot. Do you know what bird it is?
ReplyDelete#mysundayphoto
I've always known it as a peewee. According to Wikipedia 'It has many common names, including peewit, peewee, mudlark (in Victoria), and Murray magpie. It was known as yilimbirraa among the Yindjibarndi people of the central and western Pilbara'
DeleteWow so clear! I want to take photos of birds but they are a hard subject! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteIt helps when they hang out on the ground at the carpark and are so used to humans you can almost reach out and touch them! (That and fast shutterspeed)
DeleteAmazingly beautiful photo! I am just not quick enough yet to get fantastic shots of birds like that. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThe secret is fast shutter speed and birds that aren't too shy.
DeleteThat is a great clear shot of that bird.
ReplyDeleteHe was pretty close, maybe 2 meters.
DeleteA great image.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteI've never seen a bird like that - he's really beautiful, and your photo is so sharp - it looks like he's right beside the lens!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-beautiful-almond-tree.html
He just about was right beside the lens. 2 meters (a couple of yards) maybe. He was very obliging. Peewees are very common in urban areas here. Totally unremarkable to a local :o)
DeleteLovely bird!
ReplyDeleteThey have a pretty voice too.
Deletei love magpie larks. they have such a great song. such a good shot you have taken:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry, I'll have to get a girl next time :)
