Tks for sharing this method with us
You’re most welcome ♥️
Also, my wigs always end up being too big for my clients. I love the way your wigs look nice and neat too. No birds nest! The tip you gave with the sewing the access cap down might help with sizing of the cap as well. And yes, I subscribed. I will be following you girl!
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.
Nice work girl

thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏽
Wow. You made wig making easier to learn. I love the fact that you showed us how to do away with the excess net. Welldone Cyn🙂.
I would really love if you would show how to set the machine for use come next time.
I have a question- Can I use the regular sewing machine (for clothes) to make wigs?
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: th-cam.com/video/XgvEu-ApCJw/w-d-xo.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 😅).
Beautiful work!❤
THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Hello. Thank you so much for the video.
May I ask why you placed the “V-part” of the cap towards the front of the canvas head?
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.
Watching you sew the last tracks my wig be so bulky it’s hard to sew. The pressing foot pops off when I try to remove the wig
Thank you for your time and your patience for teaching us your skill for teaching us to ask you and thank God for you no subscribe
🙏🏽♥️
Please do a video on how to make lace closures,thanks.
If you’re talking about ventilation, I am not skilled in that.
Beautiful work. I'm new to your channel. It might already be there, but I need to know how to dye the cap chocolate brown. Your nails are gorgeous. Maybe invest in a clip on mic? I'm an older person and you're soft-spoken. (My hearing isn't what it used to be...)
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.
Neat work
Thank you!
Hi great video, very detailed. I do want to ask, while using the 23in dome head, is it a large mesh cap you use and do you find yourself always having to sew down the extra mesh on the cap? I’ll
Look forward to your response, ty.
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.
I’m wondering when you pull the closure forward past the front of the cap, will you be able to see the excess on the sides?
Hey Idy Idy, you won’t! The closure will blend seamlessly with you hairline.
Hi beautiful wig. What thread do you use and what tension on your sewing machine. Great content. New subscriber. Thanks 😊 🙏🏾💞
Thank you Lorraine! Check the description box in this video, you’ll see the thread/bobbins I use > th-cam.com/video/XgvEu-ApCJw/w-d-xo.html also my tension is set to 4.
Thanks so much for this ,I learnt a new thing. Please can I see how you cut your bone straight after wigging?
@@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
coming. All wig making. Keep coming 👍 all new okay .on 👍 all cable company
Good morning
Couldn’t sleep so I decided to watch wig making videos. I am a new subscriber. I like making wigs. I am a beginner so I like to watch other people makes wigs so I pull ideas from them. This video is very detail. Can you tell me is it easy to sew a short chic wigs??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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.
Plz my thread always cut, i cant sew because the thread cuts before i finish sewing one line. Plz help
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.
Hi! New subscriber here. Would yoy say taking that piece of your sewing machine makes it a little easier to sew on the cap?
Hey Ashley, are you talking about the gray piece that you can pull on & off? If so, yes it does.
Thanks for this video. Please to make a wig for a person with 22inch circumference, do I necessarily need a 22inch canvas head too?
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?
Do you double your weth when you use 3 bundles? And is doubling the weth sewing the weth with another weth?
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.
Please were can I get the sawing machine
It’s linked in the description ❤️
CAN YOU DO A TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU SSEW AROUND THE CLOSURE A LITTLE SLOWER
Sure can!
Hello Ms Cynthia. If I want to add a strap to secure the wig. Where would it go.😊
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 😊
Please I'm a beginner and i want to know if im to buy wig caps according to the canvas head size/customer's circumference?
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!
hello! i’ve noticed that when i single weft towards the top/crown of the head, it tends to sew on kind of lumpy and bumpy. does this ever happen to you?
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.
Good day cynthia, pls how do you know the size of a customer’s skull
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
What sz cap did you use?
This particular cap was about 22.5 inches. I resized it to a snug 22 inches.
Hello please how can I prevent my wigs from having humps ?
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.
may be a stupid question but how do you keep the cap open while you're sewing ? lol I want to try to make a wig on a sewing machine but I am scared of sewing the cap together lmao
🤣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 😬
So sewing it with a sewing machine would still make the wig fit a 23inch head?
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 😊
U are just perfect in your work, pls how can I get the machine and how much does it cost?
Thank you Igudobi 🫶🏿 the link to the sewing machine is listed in the description.
This is in regards to sewing down the excess cap, Maybe I missed it, you said dnt sew on the elastic band but you are tho? I’m confused 😢are you seeing above the band.
Only sew through the mesh material. Don’t sew so deep that your needle goes through the elastic band.
Hey I keep breaking the needle. What am I doing wrong? My guideline don’t be equal. And It’s difficult sewing on the cap
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?
I'm sure that you have, but please give the Lord Jesus praise and thanks for your talent because that is very very creative of you I wish you would have tried it on the but that looks really good thanks so much be blessed in the Lord
THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Why when I’m making my wig on the machine I always have bird nest on my 😢
This means that your closure isn’t sewn down flat/even on all sides.
I can sew on the cap?
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.
I love it but your hands was in the way when putting the hair in the sewing machine
