I’m so glad that I could help! Best of luck to you!

You’re most welcome! The best of luck to you on your journey!

Thank you LaTanya! I’m happy to help and inspire ♥️

Thank you so much! Are you getting the accurate circumference for your clients head? There are canvas block that range from sizes 19-24 inches. Remember that one size cap does not fit all & the quality of your caps make a difference as well. I’ve linked my personal wig cap vendor in the description box.

Thank you so much for watching 🌹

It’s my pleasure 😇

Thank you!

I’m soooo happy that I could help, Aruma! I actually did create a tutorial on how to set up the machine from start to finish, here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/js2meNheptaneqs.html - if this link doesn’t work I just posted it in the description! Yes, you absolutely can use this sewing machine to make clothes (that’s actually what it’s originally intended for 😅).

Thank you so much for the feedback Mari. I’ll indeed purchase a microphone! When you say dye the cap, are you talking about bleaching the lace on a closure? If so, I can upload a detailed video on that. Let me know how I can help further & thank you for you support.

Thank you for your support! ♥️

Thank you for your support!

I’m happy we found each other Denise 🥹 short/pixie wigs aren’t as difficult as it may seem. The the guidelines are what makes the process a little different since there is no closure piece to sew on.

My pleasure. Thank YOU.

Thank you thank you! 🙏🏽

& thank you so much for watching!

Thank you!

My pleasure friend! The V is the front of the head/cap. The wider part would be the nape. the cap contours the canvas better when it’s placed as such because technically this is the correct way.

@@julieteze800 my pleasure! what do you mean by cutting bone straight? 🥹

@@Itsbigcyn after wigging bone straight. Best way to trim it with clipper or scissors to achieve equal and sharp cut edge .

I think you’re referring to making a blunt cut on the ends of the hair? 👀 if so, that is something I don’t do.

@@Itsbigcyn okay. Thank you

You’re most welcome ♥️

Stella, it sounds like your thread is breaking. Make sure you’re using polyester thread. Also make sure your thread is moving freely through the thread guides. You shouldn’t have to use much force to pull it through. Please let me know if that helps.

Thank you so much! I’m happy to help!

🙏🏽♥️

Thank you! I use Qfitt extra large mesh dome caps when working on a 23 inch canvas head. With these, I do have to remove excess material most times. However, when I’m using caps from my regular wig cap vendor I do not have to remove any extra material. Qfitt is just what I had on hand at the time of making this video but they are still the best brand to use that you can get from the beauty supply or Amazon.

If you’re talking about ventilation, I am not skilled in that.

Hey Idy Idy, you won’t! The closure will blend seamlessly with you hairline.

Depending on the size of the wig and length of the bundles, for the most part I do double my wefts. I double my wefts on the same bundle.

Hey Ashley, are you talking about the gray piece that you can pull on & off? If so, yes it does.

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!

Thank you Lorraine! Check the description box in this video, you’ll see the thread/bobbins I use > kzfaq.info/get/bejne/js2meNheptaneqs.html also my tension is set to 4.

Sure can!

THANK YOU 🙏🏽

Thank you!

Hey Chevelle! I would add it about 3 tracks down from where the closure is sewn. Sometimes when you place the band right next to the closure it’ll cause it to buckle.

Hello Ms Cynthia. Thank You Kindly. Ur amazing 😊

Hey! Yes, please use the canvas head size corresponding with the clients actual circumference.

@@Itsbigcyn ok thanks

Aw I was wondering too, thanks for answering 😌. That means I can't use just one size😢. But please is there a range of sizes for a canvas head?

Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏽

In the beginning for me, yes! There is less space at the top of the wig so you may be stretching the cap as you sew without realizing it. This can cause bulking. Be conscious of stretching the cap and try sewing at a lower speed.

@@Itsbigcynthank you for answering! do you mind if i send you an email about another issue i’m having?

@@ericadiane2687 not at all. I’ll be looking for your message.

Usually wig caps come in one size (typically medium) and you adjust them on a canvas head according to the clients measurements! I do offer wig caps that come in size medium and large on www.bubblegumtreats.com

@@Itsbigcyn okay thanks so much for the clarification. I'll try them out too

@@julianaadjei1158 no problem. Qfitt is a good wig cap to start out with. They have standard size caps (medium) & xtra large. You can find them in your local beauty supply or on Amazon!

Yes Chidera! The size of your wig depends on the canvas head and wig cap you use, not the sewing machine.

@@Itsbigcyn oh that makes sense! Thanks! Sorry I was told that I needed to sew it on a head cuz the cap is elastic so if you take it off it would shrink…I guess not so thanks 😊

🤣Not stupid, but there is a piece of the bed of the sewing machine that you can slide on and off. You’ll slide that part off and then the part that’s remaining will go inside of the wig cap. So, one part of the wig cap will be on top of the flat bed and the other side of the wig cap will be underneath. I hope that makes sense 😬

THANK YOU 🙏🏽

Only sew through the mesh material. Don’t sew so deep that your needle goes through the elastic band.

It’s linked in the description ❤️

Thank you!

Try changing your needle, it might be dull. Also make sure it’s secure in the needle holder - it should be very snug but not too tight. For drawing the guidelines, you may just need more practice. The key is to draw your lines straight across. Using a soft tape measurer can also help you draw accurately. I can make a video focusing on how to make your lines ♥️

Thank you I just bought another machine. I am getting better with my double wefts. It’s the backstitch that I have to practice. When I sew the tracks on the cap it’s difficult. Especially if o have sew a couple onto the cap. It don’t be flat . What am I doing wrong? It look like I have too much hair

Keep on the good work

@@tiffanygrose5943 I’d highly recommend doubling your wefts first before sewing them on the cap. This way is much easier if you’re a beginner. You also want to make sure you’re not stretching the cap with your hands as you push it thru the machine - this’ll cause your wig to be bulky. You want to let the machine do most of the pulling. The job of your hands is just to guide the direction of the cap. Also, ensure that your guidelines aren’t too close together when double wefts, since you need more space for the larger track. This will cause a bulky wig as well!

Thank that’s what I be doing puking the cap. When I start off sewing a track onto the band it be hard to sew. I might just need to space out lines more. The wig be already full looking and I have like 3/4 lines to go. How many lines should I draw. I usually have ten and it isn’t working out. How can I tell if the tracks are thick?

Thank you Igudobi 🫶🏿 the link to the sewing machine is listed in the description.

Hey Thomas! You’d need to get the measurement of circumference with a soft tape measure going around the person’s head.

@@Itsbigcyn good day Cynthia boss, thanks for replying. I want to learn the art of wig construction and installation and I’ve watched a zillion videos but I still feel I need professional guide. Can u please connect me to any professional that can take me on 1-1 class?? Looking forward to your response. Thank you

This means that your closure isn’t sewn down flat/even on all sides.

This particular cap was about 22.5 inches. I resized it to a snug 22 inches.

Like sew by hand. Yes you can.

@@Itsbigcyn sorry I didn't mean the cap I meant the elastic band 😂 sorry

@@mrsperfectco6981 yup! You can sew the elastic band by hand or machine.

@@Itsbigcynit will still stretch

@@mrsperfectco6981 it will 😀 just have to have the proper amount of elastic band but yes it will.

Or bumps ?

you have to pin the closure down tautly on all four corners. there cannot be any spaces or humps as you're sewing. it has to remain flat.

Hello. I love this video. So informative and detailed. I make wigs as well but I’m trying to perfect so that feel comfortable. Can you please make a video on how to thread the singer machine lol. I always end up with bird nest. Also, where did you get the already made bobbins?

@@neicyjay Thanks Neicy! I’m so glad I can help you, & I absolutely can do a video demonstrating how to wind the bobbins! I linked the pre-wound bobbins in the description box.

So happy to help ❤️‍🔥
