Ruffler

I'm not sure if I should go with ruffled tiers or flared tiers, with something underneath to puff them up, but I have this industrial ruffler attachment to try at some point so I guess Ima go with that first. The instructions don't seem to say why there is a piece of fabric stuck in it, but maybe it will make sense when trying to install it on the machine. When I took it out of the plastic bag, it didn't smell like burlap like I expected.
