Beautiful 3 dimensional flowers from strips of fabric or ribbon are easy to create with the Ruching Edge.
This plastic guide ensures you come up with lovely scallops and petals making it simple to make ruched flowers. The most important thing about ruching is to sew at the exact angle on each zig zag and this tool makes it easy to achieve.
The Ruching Edge provides three edges - small, medium and large to make different size ruching
This clever tool has formulas printed right on it so you can see at a glance:
- How much fabric or ribbon to use for each edge;
- How much thread to use in the needle and what kind of thread so you will never run out and have to take a knot; and,
- How long the finished ruched strip should measure in order to make a perfectly round flower.
If you would like to try ruching you can purchase the Ruching Edge online at Quilters World.
