hey so do you double stitch one bundle ?? like fold it and sew it or do i take to separate tracks and sew them together??
Yes, I double one bundle. I fold it and sew them together.
The best video I have seen 🥰 thank you dear please I want a video of this but on frontal 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰
Will do!
Please dear am still waiting
God bless you
Hey I have gotten better with double weft. I don’t know what I am doing wrong when I do the guideline. It comes out uneven. Sewing on the cap is difficult. Especially when I have sew a few tracks
same here , even after I watch dozens of guideline videos I still messed up, but I ended up getting it before sewing the tracks on the wig. I recommend searching “guideline wig tutorials” for closures or lace fronts, whichever wig you’re dealing with so it comes out accurate. TikTok also has a lot of great short videos to save and learn from. If you have 3-4 bundles, it’s usually about inch apart from what I’ve gathered from all the videos I’ve seen. On the bottom half of the way to usually curve the lines downward, and on the top half usually slant them upward or straight but the last few tracks before the closure usually are slanted upwards on the side. Make sure you’re using a measuring tape, I actually measure the space on each side of the way the left middle and right instead of just the middle to ensure it’s even. Almost videos you usually see them only measure the middle but I’m not good at drawing straight lines or eyeing out anything. If you draw all your lines straight across from left to right , u might not have enough room for all the lines to equally be spaced. if it’s still not perfect, don’t worry because it doesn’t have to be there just guidelines and people usually go in between and add other tracks. If you mess up, you can also use a different color marker. Sharpie is the best.
Thank you for the angle you shewed. How many bundles did you use?
This one is hard to say because I was using hair on an old wig that’s was made by someone else. But, typically I use 3 bundles. Now, if the circumstances size of the head is bigger you may need more bundle’s depending on the desired look!
Where did u get the closure??
What kind of thread did u use?
Thanks, what make a cap to have bump after sewing?
When you stretch the cap too much that what causes the bumps. I always try to keep in mind that nothing forced is beautiful. So as long as you’re not overly stretching the cap you’ll be fine!
What type of thread is that
Beautiful! Can you tell me where did you get that song from? Thanks in advance.
I go it from TH-cam. This is the direct link th-cam.com/video/Ux5k7WtEG-o/w-d-xo.html
But I just type in free copyright music
Please will the elastic band be able to stretch afterwards?
Yes, with me sewing in the opposite direction (horizontal) of the way the elastic band is (vertical) it allows it to still be able to stretch
Thanks for sharing, how many bundles do you recommend?
It really just depends on the thickness/ look you are going for. Typically any lengths from 10-18 you can get away with 3 bundles for the average density. Lengths 20 and up I recommend 4-5 bundles. The longest the hair the shorter the wefts are. Also keep in my if you or your client have a bigger circumference there is more space to to be fill, so you will more than likely need a extra bundle . Hope this helps!
Hello sister thanks for the good heart
Please what's the name of the wig you used, or you can link it in description box. Thanks in advance.
Are u saying it’s better to do it on a 23 in. despite the actual measurement for the head.?
No, I used the 23.5 canvas head because that was her actual measurements for her circumstance. Her head is a a little larger than a normal head.
Why the tops of my wigs be bulky but the back be good I’m stressed 😩
One thing I’m still confused on - how do you know that the cap is the right size based on the canvas since the elastic shrinks when it’s not on the canvas? I’m scared my wig would be too small when I went to put it on
Good question. When sewing on a wig cap it does shrink a little, the only time it’s shrink drastically is when you sew too many wefts onto the cap. For a normal size head size( 22 circumference) I put between 10-12 guidelines on the cap which is about and 1” apart from each other. As long as you convert over your measurements from your head to the canvas head, and space out your guidelines good enough (an inch apart) you shouldn’t experience major shrinkage. I hope this helps.
@UCASxRx17Y4PmAg-YxXu7LHA I think I need to try it using some old bundles. I’m so used to sewing by hand and I transfer my sizing to the canvas head but it’s puzzling to me how you keep that sizing when the cap is no longer stretched on the canvas. Thanks for the reply. I’ll definitely practice this!
Where did you get the dome cap?
I usually get mine from my local beauty supply store, but I’m pretty sure you can get them in off of Amazon in a pack!
I was expecting you to remove the arm of the sewing machine so that way the cap can wrap around it like a sleeve. My sewing machine comes apart there for sleeves and curved stitching.
Yes you can, but I like have it there for extra support. I’ll try this way out next time!!
What do I do if my sewing machine jams every time I try to lay a track?
Do you have a heavy duty machine? I know when I was using a regular sewing machine mine would jam up quite a few times and would even stop working and I had to go to the repair shop to get it fixed. I will say if everything is threaded right then it may just be you need a heavy duty. Sometimes pushing too much through the sewing machine can be a lot. I hope this helps
@@KatlinPalmer Yeah I think that’s the problem, I have a Singer Traditional machine. I’ll be upgrading to a heavy duty soon. Thank you 🙏🏾
You’re welcome!
Hello dear please what makes your wigs bumpy
You can make wigs bumpy by over stretching/pulling the cap when sewing. Keep the tension as normal as possible
Which cap size was this exlarge?
Yes this was the extra large!
What kind needle did you use?
For sewing down the closure I used a regular "C Curved" needle. For the sewing machine I used what it came with, which is the Singer Heavy Duty Universal 110/18 needle. You can buy them in a pack.
What is the purpose of back stitching please
Back stitching helps make sure the track is set in place. If it just go through it once the thread is loose and Will easily come out. It’s kings the same rule with sewing close we always back stitch at the beginning and the end to lock it in!
can I have the reference of the machine I am looking for a good one Please
Singer Heavy Duty Machine
Are you using regular thread?
I’m using all purpose sewing thread.
Can I use regular thread
@@tarellwashington7589 just to make sure, when you say regular thread are you referring to the thread you can get from the beauty supply store? If so, I would say use that at your own will. That thread is 100% cotton so it is a little thicker than the all purpose. So depending on your sewing machine it may sew smoothly or it may not. I personally never used that type of thread, unless I was hand sewing. I hope this helps

Please, o need answers to these questions:
1. Why do u sew the cap before sewing the wig?
2 Why do u double the weft?
3. My wig never sit down well after sewing, there is always a lump like a gallop on the wig, what could be the problem?
Hey great questions!
1. I sewed they cap because there was extra fabric that didn’t need to be there. I sewed it to make sure it fit the canvas head perfectly. You don’t want extra fabric when sewing that could cause lumps or even be to big for you or your clients head.
2. I doubled the wefts so I can fit more bundles onto the cap to great a fuller look.
3. I would say the lump is coming from stretching the cap too much (to make sure it’s flat) when sewing. I use to have this problem a lot when I first started sewing. I really started to take my time make sure I wasn’t pulling to much of the cap etc.
I hope this helps, let me know if you want more details!
@@KatlinPalmer thank you very much. Please, I want more details as per the lumpy wig.
@@olowoyeyeoluwanifemi6309
Yes, so when you are sewing your tracks to the wig cap, make sure your not overly pulling on the wig cap to make it appear “flat” when you’re sewing. This will cause the tacks to lump up and not lay flat against your head. Also keep in mind of you measurements as well, if you feel like it’s lumpy look see where exactly it’s lumpy and make sure you’re measurements were taking down correctly too.
@@KatlinPalmer thank you, I am grateful. I am subscribing now
@@olowoyeyeoluwanifemi6309 Yay, thank you! You were my 700th subscriber! 🙏🏾
