Oh no! This is sad to hear! With a ruffler, you can make all your own trims and embellishments!
Once a piece is ruffled, one can still ease it either way to make it longer or shorter, same as one does with hand gathering. I know with me, many times I rip out the first run of ruffling, and make any machine adjustments, like for stitch length or tension, or ruffler adjustments, and iron the piece again before I run it through a second or even third time until I get the desired effect.
This is just a suggestion... and is what I do myself... I set a block of time everyday, usually 1/2 hour, to practice using a new attachment or a new method, anything that frustrates me or I have trouble getting it to work right. This way I can concentrate on using the attachment and I'm not worrying about messing up something I'm making for someone else.
