It may have been a good system for some people but others had very unsuccessful experiences with the company. It very unfortunate that the Unique Boutique in Billerica MA had to close. The women who ran it were knowledgeable, delightful and very helpful to their clients. However, they evidently closed because of a lack of backup, support and follow through from the company. It is something I'd investigate carefully before I invested in a scan and patterns. If you have a figure issue be careful. I can also say I saw several outfits from the patterns which were lovely but they were executed by very well seasoned and or professional level sewers.

Could this be a Singer Sewing Machine ruffler. It looks like one that my grandmother used to use with her old treadle Singer. Good luck !!
