Bernina #86 Ruffler

  Ruffler #86 is a specialist in the simple gathering and pleating of fabrics. Thanks to its variable setting options, both pleat depth and frequency of gather can be varied. This means that Ruffler #86 can set a pleat with every stitch, every 6th stitch, or every 12th stitch, as you choose. There’s also the option of sewing without pleating, without replacing the presser foot (ruffler setting = 0).  This includes the #75 Bernina Adapter. Gathering is performed by the special gathering blade, which causes the up-and-down motion of the needle to catch a bit of fabric each time and slip it under the needle.The result: neat, even gathering and pleats on home furnishings or garments.  The depth of the pleat can be infinitely varied by turning the adjusting screw.   Compatible with these Bernina models below: 125, 125 S, 130, 135, 135 S, 140, 145, 145 S , 150, 153, 153 QE, 155, 160, 163, 165, 170, 180, 185, 200, 210, 220, 230, 230 PE, 240, 430, 435, 440 QE, 450, 630, 640, 730B 2
