    It is a pleating/ruffle attachment for an older machine.

    Yeppers!!! it is a ruffler/ gatherer.... it is wonderful to make ruffles and pleating... the dial on the side controls the spacing... clean it up and give a polish... it will work great!!! :thumbup:

    It is a ruffler. The number on top where we can see "12" is used for the space between ruffles and the lower indicator is for the depth of the ruffle.

    I use it to gather, as in making a child's full-tail,
    gathered skirt. It sure uses a lot of material though.
