Thanks Natasha! This tutorial is by Vanessa, so you might have to ask her directly be leaving a comment on her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/cakestyletv). The width of the spaces is entirely dependent on how wide you would like your ruffles to be, but we think about 2cm would work best! Hope that helps – The Queen Team
