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.

    I'm with Mary K, but I have an idea... S.O.Y. Is it really what I'm thinking, or am I bad? If it's what I'm thinking, then that's a funny sign :)

      Absolutely a real sign! I took this shot when we last ate at Cicerello's, in Fremantle.

    having grown up in fl on the west coast i wish i had made this sign and carried it to the beach every time we went, the tourists would feed the bird and then all of a sudden there seem like hundreds of them soying all over, i have had them steal hot dogs right off the grill, the dirty birds lol xx

      The restaurant is such a major tourist destination, so I guess it doesn't occur to most of them what the dangers of sharing their meals entail.

      They have newer versions of the same sign up, but I really liked this older one.

    Agree with this ... one time the boys dropped a chip at the beach and about 20 gulls descended on us to try and grab said chip. It was really quite scary.
