If your going to do a whole bunch of skirts you
might consider getting 1 of these to use to
stretch the bands.

I like the one's w/ the 90° bend in the tip.

I have a pair of long-nose pliers, that are very tiny in size. They are a total of 6" long, the nose being 3" long. I slide my collar on this, squeeze the pliers together, which opens the collar, and have my skirt ready to slide in. Once it is in, I loosen the pliers in my hand, and slide the whole assembly off.

Then, I roll the collar down to where I have 1/4" more on one side of the collar, cut the end tabs off, then put it onto whatever I am making. Then, I go back and trim the skirt to the correct length. :thumbup01:
