Ruching Guides
Ruching is a French term which means "gathering, ruffling or
pleating". A zig-zag line of gathering stitches worked along a strip
of fabric or ribbon will produce petals on both sides of the strip.
This textured strip can then be shaped into a variety of floral motifs.

Circular ruching combines two different types of texture
in the same flower. Ruching around the edge of a circle
produces a full ring of petals. As the circle is gathered,
it becomes smaller with increased fullness in the center.
This extra fabric can be pulled down with a few tacking
stitches to create a beautiful textured center. Circular
ruched flowers are quicker to stitch and less bulky than
large sprial ruched flowers. The New RucheMark Circular
Ruching Guide makes six sizes of flowers, from miniature
up to 3". Complete instructions included.
