I've just remembered that not only have I used my ruffler for putting small
pleats stitched into place on fabric, but I've also used it for pleating
paper.
The first time I used it on paper was to make those garlands made of crepe
paper that you twist and pin across/around the room for

I think Joy hit the 'pin' on the head here... I've been thinking about
it (dreaming) and mum used to take minute stitches, 2 rows, gather to
the correct size and 'stroke' the fabric to make them all lie the same
way. She used to do it with a pin though. You probably can do it

Hi all,
I guess everyone else is confused what I'm talking about. Wish I
knew! It's not smocking or pintucks. I mean little teeny tiny
pleats, going in one direction, not box pleats. They give a very
nice, neat look to the gathering I've seen in some antique clothing.

I have a Viking machine and don't know about Bernina feet. I believe there
are proper feet to do small pleats if that is what you are looking for, but
if all you are trying to do is gather fabric, like in the skirt of a dress,
the simplest thing to do is to zigzag over cord (eg heavy crochet
trying doing it by hand, but
it's not completely successful at this point

I think you mean cartridge pleating. What you need is four or five
rows of parallel hand stitching, each stitch about 1/4 or 3/16
long, and the rows of stitching no more than 1/4 to 3/8 apart, with
the under stitch on each row at the same mark. You have to mark
the lines, and preferably also
The sizes I gave are appropriate for a broadcloth skirt; if you want
them finer than that, then you need to make the stitches shorter.
On the other hand, if you mean long vertical lines, you are talking
pin tucks, and there are feet to do that

Cartridge pleats is the name, I think.
It was used by the Victorians on their crinoline skirts.

The other thing about regular gathering: the instructions all say to
run one line of gathering thread ON the seam line and another 1/4
into the seam allowance. If instead you run one 1/8 inside the seam
allowance and the other 1/8 into the garment, then pull up the
gathers and sew ON the seam
