In reply to: pm 's message, "when you say 3 - 4 layers, are you talking on each built in slip? I have each layer getting shorter by 2" then I have two built in light weight cotton pieces, the first piece has two rows of extremely gathered ruffles, then the second piece has 1 super tight row of ruffles. Are you saying I need 3 - 4 layers on each? Thanks for the two of you that answered me. If you can answer this I might figure it out. Thanks again" on 02:31:18 08/02/09 Sun

I use 6 yrds of material. I cut my 4" strips from all 6 yds on both edges so you actually get 12 yds. I use 4 full layers of organza. Then I use 6 yds on 2 different layers of tight gathered ruffles or a total of 6 layers. Mine come out full. You also have to watch that your curls from the fishline do not lay inside each other. This will cause a flat look as well. Hope that helps!

Now, I'm more confused, lol
O.k. I understand all but the layers part. How many layers of gathered ruffles are on each slip part. Or are you saying, If I have three slip parts (the shorter part that the ruffles go on) should I only have 1 row of super tight gathered ruffles? I guess my question is this. First, how many shorter layers do I want? Then how many super tight rows of ruffles do I want on each. I think this will make me understand better, or at least I hope! Thanks to everyone gave suggestions?

I usually gather my ruffles on a ruffler and sew them on.
