OK. If you want a gathered layed skirt in tulle the best result is achieved by using 3 widths of the fabric you want X the length of the skirt you want. Eg if you want the finished length of your skirt to be 30″ long then the length of the fabric you need to buy for each layer is 90″.
You then cut this into 30″ lengths and join down the edge (salvage) leaving a 10″ opening down one seam which is your center back opening. Get a length of waistband tape that is your waist measurement plus a little for fastenings.
Set your sewing machine stitch length to the longest setting and sew about 1/2″ from the top of tulle “tube”. Sew another line paralel with this another 1/2″ down. If you then pull the top threads of these lines it should gather the fabric. Gather it to the waistband measurement and top stitch it on.
I would then put it on a friend and cut the hem line you want.
