A body of the ruffler for carrying out ruffling of a cloth has a ruffling member, a holder guide rail, and a presser foot guide rail, each extending in a transverse direction. A presser foot is mounted on the presser foot guide rail for sliding movement thereby pressing the cloth downward.

The presser foot holder has longitudinal position adjustment portion abutting on the presser foot. The longitudinal position adjustment portion has an opening vertically formed therein and having a large longitudinal width. The presser foot holder also has a transverse position adjustment portion fitted on the holder guide rail. A longitudinal position-setting setscrew releasably fastens the longitudinal position adjustment portion and the presser foot together for adjusting a longitudinal position of the presser foot to a proper position, and for fixing the longitudinal position adjustment portion and the presser foot together in the proper position. A transverse position-setting setscrew releasably fastens the transverse position adjustment portion and the holder guide rail together, and for fixing the transverse position adjustment portion and the holder guide rail together.
