I'm making a fleece robe and would like to finish the sleeves and bottom with the lettuce / ruffly edge. Does anyone know what presser foot I would use? I have a Janome 11000.
|
I have a Kenmore machine and a Singer 301a...both have a foot called a Ruffler. I think this foot would do what you are describing; do you have one? Good Luck and I hope that someone else gives you more options.
|
A lettuce ruffle? Is that where you stretch the fleece as you do a close zigzag?
|
I know you stretch knit fabrics to get lettuce edges. I pretty sure you do a close zig-zag stitch over edge.
Just went out and tried it, close zig-zag almost a satin stitch over edge of fabric as you stretch it. It would be good idea to practice with scraps to see how much stretch to get wave you want. |
Do you have a serger? That might give you the look you're going for.
|
it is not the foot, that makes it ruffle..you have to STRETCH/pull the fabric really tight when you sew it and when you let go it will be ruffled...

As always my quilting board friends have the answer. |
my machine comes with a "ruffler" foot
|
Isn't the ruffler foot to gather the fabric to make a ruffle to attache like to the edge of the pillow or the bottom of curtains?
|
It seems these boards has all the answers anyone could ever ask !!
