Over the last couple months I tried my hand at ruffling, here are a few things I learned:
1. Never touch your sewing machine's tension settings. EVER! I read somewhere that you could change the tension to make easier ruffles...guess who killed her machine by doing that...yup..moi.
2. Buy a ruffle foot, see above for reason. Oh and after I did gobs of ruffles, it was a blessing to have it!
3. Turn fabric under before you ruffle so it doesn't fray.
4. Try ruffles on everything...next up for me is head bands, pillow covers, and tote bags.
Here are some of my finished aprons that I did ruffles for my Etsy shop and my friends.
