In the 1950s, my mother got a knee-control electric sewing machine. Previously, she sewed on my grandmother's treadle machine. Her new-fangled machine came with a buttonholer attachment and a couple of other attachments, one of which was a ruffler. I was a little girl, fascinated by the ruffler attachment. She'd often catch me under the machine cabinet, playing with the ruffler, trying to take it apart to see why it worked. My father sat me down for a serious talk about taking care of things and respect for other people's property. After that, he allowed me to help him in his carpentry shop. My first degree is in mechanical engineering. Today, all these decades later, I have a ruffler attachment for my sewing machine. I'm still fascinated by it. But I don't try to take it apart. I now know how it works.
This was a very helpful video. Thank you. I will refer to it when i try to figure out my 1938 singer with all the 10" strips i cut out for percentage data. I like ruffles and pleats but my fingers don't like making ruffles.

I was always afraid of this gadget. It looks like it bites. I'm glad I don't like ruffles.
