I made 75 custom fitted square dancing dresses of white eyelet and miles of red ruffles. I bought the fabric in 10 yard pieces, clipped the cut end at the required widths (some dresses had 5" ruffles, some 6" some 8") to best use the fabric. My friend and I each grabbed every other cut and walked away from each other! The endes were "slightly" stretched, but they were hemmed with a rolled edge on one side and ruffled on the other. No complaints! LInda
