Skip Cut material comes in a continuous ribbon that is slit into 42 strands. There is a solid, non-slit band every 5.25 inches so the material can be cut into 5.25 inch skirt layers. On layer will make a 42 strand skirt. You can make double length skirts by cutting the ribbon 10.5 inches and placing the collar on the middle band. Skirts may be trimmed to shorter lengths if desired. Material comes carded in 10 foot lengths that will make approx. 22 skirts.
