Ruffler Tutorial
| For proper alignment, make sure that your bottom tray is loaded into the base with the X on the left side. When pressing, also make sure that the X on the top of the tool is towards the left. | |
 |
First make a football. For consistent size use another press to measure the footprint. Lay the initial footprint of glass in a cavity and use it as your ruler for each bead. |
 |
Heat your football evenly and press a flat side on a marver. Reheat the rounded side and press that on a marver. |
|
|
Heat the flat sides of your tab only. I just hold one side over the
flame for a few seconds and flip to the other for a while. Then give the
first side a small bit of reheat. Press with the ruffler. To get the center in the middle I use the mandrel lined up with the center groove of the texture as my guide when I'm laying it down on the base of the press. |

It takes a few tries to get to know how long to heat the flat sides for a specific glass, but once you do you'll have it. |
