Singer | Ruffler Attachment Presser Foot, Perfectly Spaced Pleats/Gathers, Easily Adjust Closeness & Depth, Light to Medium Fabrics - Sewing Made Easy, Silver

I purchased this foot for my Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 sewing machine. The foot was easy to install, but I did have some difficulty getting it to work (to catch the fabric to make the pleat). I took a break from it and watched a video on YouTube on how to use and I quickly got it to work. The trick that got it working was to move all the moving parts a bit to get them to flex and move easily. Really good quality.

Its a really good product, but you have to watch a view youtube videos first before using it else it might just be a frustration to you, dont pull to much on the fabric inside it else the sharp points will rip it, test it first by hand to make sure your needle is not hitting the presser foot and adjust acordingly, you can use a tool to lift up those sharp edges to get your fabric in without ripping it, and do work the attachment a little with the hand to make it a bit looser before you attach it to your machine, once you get the hang of it it works perfectly creating really nice ruffles

Ok, I have to say I was a bit iffy on whether I should get this for the price and if it would fit my Singer Classic, not a fancy sewing machine. I also have a Pfaff, but my basic Singer has worked as back up and period. It worked well with my singer Classic. I scan the code to download the video on how to use, but it took me to another ruffler foot. I decided to look at other utube videos and if you research enough you'll find someone that has made what you are looking for. 2 males used these same ruffler foot. I never used one and I love it. I learned easily after right tutorial and I made my first easy ruffling plus attached to dress where I wanted the ruffle to go on. Love it, must try it, super easy, so glad I bought it. If bought elsewhere locally, they run much higher.

1st one ordered did not work, but was easily replaced and the 2nd one works really well.

This special foot has limited use, and not everyone will think they need it. But I find it invaluable for so many applications. It fit my Pfaff machine, but I also have a Singer Featherweight which will also accommodate it. Here I made dozens of yards of ruffled underskirt for a costume.Only downfall is, there are zero instructions included on how to use this thing. I already knew, because this isn't the first one I've owned. If in doubt, there are videos on YouTube. This small device is a miracle of engineering.Disclaimer: this attachment will not fit all Pfaff machines, it is after all made by Singer.

The first issue is the tension spring on the sliding foot is so tight that it prevented the mechanism from moving-jamming my machine. The second problem is that the foot that pushes the material forward to make the pleat was not finished properly, at the front you can feel small barbs of metal on the serrated edge which catches on the material as the mechanism pulls back thus pulling the material back as well. Not usable at all which is too bad as I expected far more from a singer product.

Good

This is my second ruffler foot. The first one I bought was half the price of this one, but only lasted a couple of hours before it broke. I thought since is was a generic brand that I would order one made for Singer. Guess what, it looks exactly like the first one and lasted just about as long. And, yes, it was made in Hong Kong just like the first one. So don't pay twice as much as you should for yours.The idea of this gadget is great and cuts sewing time into a fraction of what it would be otherwise. But if they don't last, what's the point? My mother had one fifty years ago that went with her all metal parts Singer machine. Nothing at on that machine and/or attachments ever went wrong. Why don't they make things like they used to? Ah well, such is life.
