Janome Universal Ultimate Ruffler Accessory By The Each

I had purchased a cheap generic ruffler at a nearby fabric store. It broke the first time I used it. I had seen some good reviews regarding this Janome ruffler, checked to make sure it fit my machine and ordered it. It does absolutely beautiful work. The six and twelve stitch adjustments look more like a pleat, very tidy. The one stitch adjustment is more of a traditional ruffle. The only advice I would give is to make sure you have enough thread in your bobbin and on your spool to complete your ruffle, the regularity is a little off if you have to change either during the course of sewing it.

I was excited to receive my Janome ruffler foot in the mail yesterday. I'm pretty much a beginner to sewing but I've begun to use the ruffler for my projects. It looks cumbersome at first due to it's bulky appearance, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy and fun to use! I used to make my gathers using the traditional basting method and it takes forever. I was able to add ruffles to the Priscilla curtains I was making and finish it today in no time.I did find the foot challenging to use the first time especially with setting "1". I've learned by trial and error that I just needed to loose

Works great! Takes a little time getting the adjustment for the ruffles but that's part of getting anything new.

I am currently a junior in my years as a fashion design student, and I have to say that this is one of the best investments that I have purchased for my career for awhile. If you are in to children's wear or cute dresses that have a lot of ruffling, than you cannot believe what a life saver this transformer-esque looking foot is! If you've ruffled by hand, gathering string by string than you know the agony and patience it takes to get the final product to look just right. Since ruffles are part of my design aesthetic, I was doing 3 to 4 yard ruffles and they were taking me AT LEAST 4 hours eac

I've gone through a lot of ruffler feet. I have a sewing business so I do a lot of ruffles and this one has been the best by far. I've used it on 2 of my machines and it's worked great on both of them. I don't have the problems I usually have and I can count on it to do a good job every time. I plan to buy another one so that when this one wears out I will have another to use. Worth every single penny!

I chose this rating because this item was advertised as a "ruffler" foot for Janome sewing machines. It is not a true ruffler foot, it makes very hard and unsightly looking pleats, not suitable for the delicate ruffles that we were planning on using for tutus and petticoats and dresses for princess wear and costuming. I had to file a claim with Paypal to get my money back from this seller and it took FOREVER! to get it. If you want a foot for making valances for curtains with pleats then this is for you, It is not suitable for any kind of apparel if you want any kind of a pretty or soft look.

It could be my lack of experience, but I had a really hard time getting this thing working. I have a Janome 8077 (Which is the same as the Magnolia 7330) so it should be compatible, but the bobbin thread constantly jams when using the ruffler. I then have to remove the foot, remove the jam, rethread everything and put the foot back on, then it will work for maybe a yard or so before jamming again. Very disappointing. If someone knows what could be causing this, leave me a comment and I'll try their suggestion.

I've seen several negative posts about this ruffler foot. It is an authentic Janome part and does require a little bit of work to learn how to use it properly. The instructions were a little lacking but after watching one of the many online videos, I had the foot working within 30 minutes of opening the package. It has taken the work out of ruffling/gathering for me. No more broken basting threads!
