Hello, I have a ruffle foot for my brother serger but don't need it to do the ruffles...its used more for if you want to attach the ruffles to the fabric all at the same time...so I'm not sure that you would need yours or not. Some sergers don't allow the tension to be adjusted 🤷‍♀️ sorry, i wish a knew a little bit more about it.
