Stringing a tutu is where you have to loosely sew the layers of the tutu together to make it lie as flat as possible, it compacts it together a bit more and stops it looking so fluffy. I didn't even know that a tutu had this but after stringing it I could see the difference it has made.
Another method I used to flatten the tutu was to lay it on a flat surface then put something heavy over the top of it, or you could put it under your matress and sleep on it. It is left for a few days then taken out, and this flattens it even more.
I think these two methods are quite specific to tutus so I don't know whether they will help me a massive amount with future projects but if I am working with lots of layers of net I have learnt a way to control it and make it lie how I want. I also now understand the tutu much more and how thy get them to lie flat like a pancake.
