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.

    1. We were out for a walk and I had to follow the dragonfly's around as they flew off every time we stood on a twig

    1. I was definitely a challenge! They kept flying away a few feet every time we got too close.

    1. They don't like to keep still to have their photo taken that's for sure.

    1. I'm not expert on the mating habits of the dragonfly but I think that's what they are doing. They can fly at the same time - bizzare.
