Description

Early Singer Low Shank Ruffler - Puzzle Box Era

This is an early version of the Singer low shank ruffler attachment, from the era when these attachments were included in the wooden "puzzle boxes" that came with classic Singer treadle and early electric machines. A piece of sewing machine history dating back to the early 1900s.

Historical Significance

The ruffler attachment is one of Singer's oldest accessories, with patents dating back to the 1870s and 1880s. This early "puzzle box" version represents the design used before Singer standardized the ruffler around 1920. These early rufflers were included with iconic machines like the Model 27, 28, 66, 99, 15 and 201.

Key Features

  • Early design - Pre-1920s puzzle box era version
  • All-metal construction - Extremely durable vintage quality
  • Adjustable ruffling frequency - Control spacing between ruffles
  • Adjustable depth - Control fullness of ruffles and pleats
  • Low shank design - Fits vintage Singer low shank machines
  • Original Singer quality - Not a reproduction

Compatible Models

Fits Singer low shank models including: 15, 27, 28, 66, 99, 101, 128, 201

How It Works

The ruffler attaches to your low shank machine and uses the needle bar motion to drive its mechanism. As you sew, it automatically gathers fabric to create evenly-spaced ruffles or pleats. You can adjust both the frequency (how often it ruffles) and the depth (how full the ruffles are) to achieve different effects.

Perfect For

  • Collectors of early Singer attachments and puzzle box sets
  • Creating ruffles on garments, curtains, and home décor
  • Making pleats for skirts and dresses
  • Adding decorative gathered trim
  • Vintage sewing enthusiasts who appreciate authentic early tools

About Puzzle Box Attachments

Early Singer machines came with wooden "puzzle boxes" containing a set of attachments. These boxes got their name from the clever way the various feet and attachments fit together like a puzzle inside the wooden case. This ruffler is from that era, representing Singer's commitment to quality and innovation in the early days of home sewing.

This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic early Singer ruffler from the puzzle box era - a functional piece of sewing machine history.
