Gathering flat eyelet question

Melfa, VA(Zone 8a)

If you need 12 yds of gathered eyelet, how many yards of flat eyelet trim should you use?
I know that it will be dependent on how full you want the ruffles to be, but can anyone give me a ball park figure? Will 45 yards do it???
I use to know this stuff, but it has been almost 35 yrs since I did any real sewing and I just can't remember any more!!
This will be for the ruffle around a pillow sham and the comforter.
