How to attach ruffler foot on Brother sewing machine LS-2125

So I bought the ruffler foot (for low shank machines) to fit my Brother LS-2125 machine from a seller on ebay.

Took me awhile of fiddling around before finally figuring out how to attach the ruffler foot.

Here's a pictorial tutorial on how to attach the ruffler foot....so that you don't have to kill your braincells over it like I did :P

If you have the LS-2125 machine like I do, you should first remove your sewing needle and presser foot.
Next, unscrew the "foot catch".
Here's what it'd look like after you've unscrewed and removed the foot catch.
Now see this "U" part of the ruffler foot......
.....hook the U-part onto your needle clamp.....
....and for this part of the ruffler foot......
.....fit it over here.
So here's how your ruffler foot should fit on your LS-2125 machine.
Place the screw back and tighten it in place.
Attach your needle back, make sure it feeds nicely into the needle plate and then start ruffling away!!!
I tried ruffling on a thicker fabric like this one (fabric for men's coat).....it worked.
And then, I ruffled on this really thin tshirt fabric.....worked too!
I'm now officially....a ruffler! :P

  13. Hi Tania...
    Do you have any idea how to attach "walking foot"? ...
    My sewing machine is the same with you. Btw, after I looked clearly on the picture that you posted above, the Position of the "U" part in my walking foot is exactly the same with the position of "U" part in ruffler foot..

    thanks b4
    :)
