What is a straight ruffle?
A ruffle is a piece of fabric gathered along one side and typically hemmed on the side directly opposite of the gathering (pleats). When attaching a ruffle to a garment, it must be sewn evenly around, so it maintains an even garment length. (whether on sleeves or body of a garment) So a "straight ruffle" must be even in length.Example: I want a 2.5 inch ruffle on a skirt. It needs 1/2 inch on both sides for hem and attaching to the garment (so fabric of 3.5 inch total width). I take one side at 1/2 inch from the edge and do a gathering stitch just to hold the pleats in place. Later, I will attach this side to the bottom of a skirt. But before that, I will fold over the fabric TWICE on the opposite side to make a 1/4 inch hem (double means measuring 1/4 inch from the fabric edge and folding it under, then another 1/4 inch to hide the frayed material edge, meaning 1/2 inch of material is used in a doubled hem--pin this all the way around. Next, pin the gathered edge to the skirt. Then, at 1-inch intervals, measure from shoulder to hem, all the way around. If a spot is uneven, re-fold the hem at that spot and re-pin...measure again... and continue around until the whole skirt has been measured and adjusted. Only when you are sure the length is accurate all the way around should you sew the hem, and sew the ruffle to the skirt.
