Great job! I love the ruffles. I am making baby girl quilts and definitely will incorporate your idea. Thanks for sharing.

Too darn cute! You are so kind to share and I'm sure your idea will spark a wave of inspiration! I am thinking of something with chickens and ruffles for feathers or staggered short ruffled strips (or curves, oh my!) on a simple background. There's also the possibility of adding a contrasting color to the rolled serged edge. I'll NEVER get them all done but thank you!!

It looks so nice. I think I'd like a whole quilt with the ruffles on every row!!

I put the strips through the small hemmer with my Singer 301. It didn't take all that long, and worked very well. Then they went through the ruffler directly onto the dress on lines I had marked on the dress. That ruffle gave some weight to the hem, and it really swings beautifully when I twirl. I have a blouse that has such ruffles on the front as decoration. They are cut on the bias (no hems) and ruffled onto the blouse. That is the blouse I wear to the one room school, and it has been washed hundreds of times. Bias edges don't fray, they're so easy, and last forever. When I iron the blouse, I just steam the ruffles after they are held open a little. No problem. I made a shirt front about 8 inches long for the boys to wear in a Shakespeare play. Just rows of the bias cut ruffles sewed onto the background with the ruffler. They wear it over a regular shirt. |
There are attachments for this. You may want to check your manual. Depending on your machine. I have one for my Singers (2662 and 401 slant).

That is really pretty and the first one of the Jelly race quilts I have liked, must be the ruffle. I don't have a serger and don't know how to do a rolled hem, any other suggestions for finishing the edge of a ruffle?
