Thanks for watching! The hair can be reused, but each piece of thread will need to be cut which would be very time consuming and not worth it, IMO. Also, by hand stitching the frontal, it’ll allow you to change the frontal out easier.

@otesha09 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching! I would say that is most likely what’s happening. Gotta be sure to hold it taught enough for the weft to be sewn as flat as possible but not so tight it gathers more cap - hope that makes sense.

@@otesha09 actually... you're using the sleeve arm....the flat table is the part that attaches to the machine. People think it just for extra sewing space if they don't sew much.

If you’re referring to keeping the bundles “taut” yes, it’s a small amount of tension you should have but don’t try to overstretch the wig cap cause it’ll shrink it. And I just use regular sewing machine thread from Walmart.

@otesha09 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I use regular polyester thread too and I’m not sure what size I’d recommend because it depends on if your head is big or small or if you’ll be making them for other people. I’d say measure your head first (average size is around 22” and go from there)

@otesha09 4 жыл бұрын

What are your machine settings? I have the width set at 5 to ensure the stitches are far apart and you just have to keep the weft/wig cap moving through the pressor foot to keep it from getting stuck. I’d also pay attention to the wig cap you’re using. It could very well be getting stuck to the surface of your machine
