Loading and Adjusting the Folders
Feed the gusset up and over the right angled guide roller, across and through the center guide
rod, around the left angled guide roller, and down into the Ruffler Folder. Pull the folder assembly out
from the machine; load the material into and through the folder tension rods, under the roller, and into
the folder guide. Adjust the left and right folder guides to set the position of the gusset to the stitch line.
Adjust the left angled guide roller left or right to help align the gusset with the folder.
Pull the gusset material through the folder toward the sewing head until the end of it is about 2"
beyond the end of the stripper blade. Push the folder assembly all the way in toward the machine so that
the gusset is under the presser foot and puller roller and the folder in as far as it will go. The machine
will not start the automatic cycle if the folder assembly is not in all the way to its limit switch. If the
presser foot is not up, press the LOAD PANEL button or RESET.
Adjusting the Active Edge Guiding
The active edge guide located under the cloth plate controls the position of the panel while
sewing. The position of the panel left to right is determined by the electric eye that looks up through a
hole in the cloth plate at the reflective tape on the bottom of the folder. This eye is positioned by
loosening the clamp handle and sliding the eye left or right. Adjust as necessary to align the edge of the
panel to the edge of the gusset. Set the alignment guide to match the position of the edge guide to aid in
loading the panel. It is usually necessary to readjust the Corner Stop Count (#7) whenever the stitch
margin is changed.
Starting the Automatic Cycle
With the gusset loaded and the folder all the way in, position the panel under the presser foot in
the middle of a short side and aligned with the alignment guide. If this panel is the last one to be sewn
with the current gusset roll, start the automatic cycle with the START SINGLE button. If the next panel
will use the same gusset roll, start the cycle with the START MULTIPLE button. When you start with
the START MULTIPLE button the Accumulator will activate at the end of the cycle (while you are
unloading the finished panel and getting the next panel) so by the time you are ready to start the next
panel the Accumulator will be finished and the machine will be ready to run.
After pressing the START button, the automatic cycle will begin. The presser foot will drop and
sewing will begin. At the same time the trap door will rise and fill in the opening in front of the sewing
head. The operator must step aside to allow the trap door to move. Keep hands, etc., clear of the trap
door while it is moving. The machine will sew all four sides of the panel, ruffling the corners, and stop
for cutting. Pull out the folder and cut the gusset, then swing the folder up and out of the way.
Finishing the Panel
Fold the trailing edge of the gusset under itself and lay it on top of the starting edge of the gusset.
Continue to sew across the folded gussett until you overlap the starting stitches. Tap the foot lift pedal to
raise the presser foot and remove the panel. Position the edge of the gusset back under the foot and
oversew the stitch line for thr flange margin. Remove the panel and press the LOAD PANEL button.
