2206. Making A Full Lace Cap With Stretch Panel.

This video was requested by @everything_bymonique ...I hope it helps.

This is a full lace cap with a stretch panel for ventilating lace. If made without the stretch...it will still work but there will be no elastic component to further customize the fit, therefore elastic adjusters and/or combs will be needed to customize the finished cap. This is best done with a head mold or canvas block so the size will be accurate. If you use a mannequin head or a styrofoam wig head...it will be too small, unless you pad it out to your head size.

People are the purple butterfly here. Otherwise, most people are seven on Twitter and YouTube. People are Elsewhere on the internet, myself look at purple butterfly Dash soaps. Dr myshopify.com, my black purple butterfly Dash peebler.blackspot.com and I've been asked to show how to um construct a lace. Wig cap, so I'm here to do that now: first, I'm gon na show you a couple of week caps and talk about their Construction. This is one that I made long a long time ago. The cap itself was a prefab. This is a stretch panel, okay, the second one is a full lace. Wig cap, I even put a grommet there. This is power mesh, so it stretches there. This is Swiss lace. This is Swiss lace, as you could tell on the back. I put the darts at the bottom and there are some darts that could barely see at the top on the stretch panel, don't put any darts on the stretch, because that could compromise the stretch. Okay, this one is a full lace cap without any stretchy material. This is a prefab, but, as everybody know, I got a dome. This was a medium. I took an old cap and literally added a section to it, to turn it into a large okay, and here I have my lace, oh by the way, if you need some um Power mesh or a stretch, you want to go to fabric wholesale direct.com. They charged me 7.99 for a yard, and I bought two yards of it and that was uh years ago hold on, because this is the receipt 2017. and I still have a whole lot of it. When I went to companies that sell lace panels and stretch lace, they were at 25 for a fat quarter, which is basically um 18 inches. Is this come on now also get yourself some Swiss lace? I only bought a yard of it. Well, not only have a yard left, okay, the thing about the lace is you have to make sure that you're going um vertically or horizontally, so that way your um hexagon powder lines up so that way, when you're ventilating you get the holes in the right direction. Don'T put it on the wig head like this at a diagonal that will just mess you up. Trust me. As for the stretch lace like I said, I have a lot of it. I can make an entire dozen wig caps with this amount, but look at how much this stretches so, no matter how big your head is, if you put the stretch in the center there, it will expand to your head, which is why I came up with the Pattern, I did now in the meantime, let's adjust this down, so I can show you what we're going to do here. Okay, this is an experiment. I have a mesh um dum cap, I'm ventilating directly on the Dome to see. Basically, if I can now what I'm going to do, is I'm going to show you how to construct a full lace, wig cap with stretch um the pinning pattern you could sew it yourself with some elastic thread or some nylon thread. Don'T use the cotton thread because, when you put it on your actual head to fit it's going to pop those stitches because cotton does not stretch nylon has to give and elastic has some gift. Okay, now the first thing you're going to do make sure that your fabric is facing the edges, horizontal or vertigo, make sure it's not at a diagonal. Okay, take a pin which would help if I didn't have the leaves on top of the pen. Oh, and if you got the edge available, that's the Salvage Edge do not uh put that as part of the construction. I should have cut that off. Actually you want that lace to be Raw. First, I'm gon na do is stick a pin right there to Anchor. I'M going to turn this sideways, so you can see it. You want to make sure that the lace is over by one inch at least um, where the eyebrows or the hairline is so that way, you don't have to worry about the lace being too short. If that's the case anchor it with a pen, okay, I'm going to cut this as soon as I find my scissors they're never available when I need them hold on now. I had this here. This is the dead center of the wig. This is frontal area. Actually, let's do this on my bigger wig head so that way, but enough we'll just go ahead. Um assume that part is the ear. Basically, the center to where the ear is is where you're going to want to cut so first thing we're going to do is drape it properly gon na bring it around. This is hard to see this tilt that down yeah there we go so you have your center pin. You have the front, pin you're going to bring that around where the ear is, stick a pin, okay and then do the same thing. On the other side. Stick a pen: okay! Now I'm going to remove the center pin here. You'Ve got a smooth up and obviously heads around and this fabric isn't so you're going to smooth that back and that's going to make a little fold see that so, where that folds, because it's curving around the shape of the head you're going to put a pin There and a pen where that fold starts that's called a dart, okay, you're going to do the same thing on the other side, smooth it wherever the folds fall. That'S where you're going to darn it. Sometimes the darts might make sense, and sometimes they might be in weird places, but since this made for the shape of your exact head or whatever that's okay, I usually do this with uh after I um do the head mode, which is why I said sometimes the Darts will make sense, and sometimes they won't, because everybody's head is different. Okay now this is going to end up with a center Dart. So let me move this pin out the way and go ahead and smooth that back. Well, actually, two Center darts, okay, okay, so we'll just put it in there and a pin there, one there hold it and one there. I'M gon na need another Dart right there, and maybe one right there. Let'S make it a point. Okay, now next step would be to sew those darts with a brown thread or a beige thread or something that matches the color that you're going for for the skin tone or an elastic thread. So that way, it's invisible! Okay! Now, once you got that Center door in place, you're going to go ahead and trim this off perfectly where the center of the wig cap would be, which means you will have a dart here - a dirt here. Maybe a small Dart here, one here one here and that's it. Let me get something that will basically show you what I'm saying foreign okay. That means all of this will be trimmed off. So the part that you're left with will look like that. Not a lot of darts, okay. Now let me go ahead and trim this. I have more light, so it won't matter and as you can tell, that kind of made a circular cut, because heads are not horizontal. So after you Dart it and sew it down. It'S going to look like this. Okay. Now, let's cut a little piece of stretch, I'm not going to do the stretch so willy-nilly, because well, simple fact is stretch is expensive. So for demonstration purposes, I'm just going to cut a small piece. You only need enough to cover literally the crown of the head right up there. Then I could use that for a different project if necessary. Now that piece is only this big, it's not exactly even, but it doesn't have to be now you're going to find the center of the wig and literally drape it across where the crown is okay. If that means moving a pen, move the PIN, okay and then come back here, try not to actually stretch to stretch you want it to stretch during the process of being on the actual head. You don't want to stretch while you're making it, because if you stretch it out while you're making it then when it actually needs to be stretched, it won't because it'll be depleted. Shall we say okay, this pin and then put it back so that way the dart is still in place. Okay, it doesn't make sense to you in a minute the first time I did it and seen it it was like, but that don't make sense. But after a while, when you do it a couple of times, you'll get it now you're going to bring the cap down you're going to take your lace. Let'S go ahead and cut this, like. I always buy more lace, now, you'll notice. This is a curved section. It doesn't matter because, when you're done, it's going to be a perfectly shaped section and you'll notice, that's the Selvage Edge, I'm going to take that from the Salvage Edge, because I know that that is horizontal and vertical, which is what we want. I'M going to bring the lace down to where the nape of the neck would be and place a pin, and if you don't know where to nape of the neck on your wig cap happens to be where the number 422 is go ahead and put the lace There you can always trim off extra, but if you don't have the extra to begin with, then you're stuck now you're going to smooth that up and make sure that the lace is overlapping, where the stretch is, if that makes sense. So you're going to end up with a pen right next to where the stretch is now you're going to smooth it around. Well, actually, I'm gon na make sure this is even move it up. Put the pin. Okay, oh well! I just bent the PIN this pin here. Oh I can't see this pin here is where the stretch panel is. This is the pin I just put in the lace, so basically there's an inch in between I'm going to give it uh another inch or so so that way, when you're sewing through, you can catch now, you're going to smooth this up, because you want it to Connect to where the ear is, or at least another piece of the lace. Okay, let me grab some more pins from right here and you're going to stick that somewhere near where it connects make sure you could see the lace or the stretch. Let'S move that down. So that way and like I said, you're not going to Dart the stretch so try to get that as smooth as possible without having to Dart the stretch and then just move that up put a pin there. Now that brings us to the top okay you're, going to turn it to where you might need a dart. You might not you're just going to get it on there anchor it with a pen. So that way, it's fun there now you're going to sew where and connect all of those. It'S going to basically look like a triangle. Let me get a crayon, so I can show you what I mean and maybe yeah needle and thread foreign s always get ghosts when I need them. So basically, here let's cut the end of this needle off. Like I said, you don't want to use cotton for this. My example is having cotton, but you know you're going to use nylon or an elastic thread, basically now you're going to connect the stitches. This is not writing. Oh no. That was not right either. Okay. This is some craft supplies aside, they're not going to cooperate with you. Okay, that one writes okay, you can start from the back or you can start from the front. But basically you see where the stretch is. You want to draw a line and draw a line. So what you're going to do, if you can tell real close the front the back and the stretch are all connecting at this point here, so I'm gon na put an anchor there, so you can see those looses! That'S why they're so dull today and I'm gon na do the same thing on this side, where the stretch and the front and the back are all connecting and the front is being stubborn. So I'm going to take a piece of pencil too, but I'm going to take a Chopstick smooth that out lift this pin or my place, because we want the front to be smooth regardless of what we do with the back and the stretch. Okay, now we'll put that pin back but see the stretch and the lace and the front, and the back are all connected okay, so I'm going to Anchor that all the way through there is a method to this madness. Don'T worry. Mm-Hmm now put this thing over here now. The next step would be to remove the pins from the back, and you see where that pin is that's holding up the lace. That'S holding up the stretch. Okay! So now we're going to cut that straight across, and this gives you enough lace for another recap: okay, you see how that's connected that's connected this pins connected. You could see the stretch okay now at this point you would literally whip Stitch the stretch and the back lace together. If there's any darts. That needs to be put in place like right here or maybe right here for the shape of the back. You will sew those down after you sew down the stretch now, as you notice, the stretch on this side is overlapping the front. This is the center of the head where there are darts. This is the back. You want to make your line straight through the middle of both okay. So when you sew it, you will actually be sewing over all those darts and the stretch, and then you trim off the stretch which would leave you and then you turn it inside out. And then you trim off the extra lace which will leave you with a cap. That'S literally shaped like your head. Let me get another needle, add some thorough red and I'm going to do a mock-up and show you exactly how that's going to work. This is elastic thread I got from Joann's, they only had white and black, so I dyed it brown and it doesn't really look Brown. It comes out kind of a grayish brown or a heathered brown, but basically it's brown, I'm going to start from what would be the ear and if you notice the ear and the back is actually converging. That'S what we want now when you first do this whip Stitch this in place Loosely as a basting stitch. You do not want to make a permanent Stitch and then try it on to find out is the wrong configuration or too loose or too tight or whatever. This is basically um a basting stitch, so you can test if you got the measurements right, so do not make those stitches permanent. Until you know it's the right configuration and that's another thing: the ears are going to overlap and that's fine, but when it's time to actually cut it, you want to have extra stitches there. So that way, when you cut where the ear is you don't have to worry about, I mean mine came to a point literally overlapped and then, when it was time to cut for the ear that extra fabric that was removed from the ear was no big deal. Because it was stitched securely down and on this side is different, because that side of my head is actually different. One ear is actually bigger than the other, so, as you could tell, is slightly different Now, where's that needle okay you're going to follow the line of the stretch where the um dark ish, so basically you're going through the darts you're going through the stretch you're going Through all of that, you can make it a straight line or you can just baste it and adjust it later. Okay, but since my marker didn't work - and I failed to put a pin there because basically, I ran out of pins, I'm just doing a mock-up to show you okay. Now I am going to trim off the stretch, but I'm not going to cut the lace anymore because I could reuse this lace, I'm not actually making a wig cap, I'm showing you how to make a wig cap. So I'm not going to compromise the lace for a mocha. I have to go and that's on my watch. Well, we'll leave it there, it's just a backup, so it doesn't matter okay and through that Dart there's the back of the lace. So, let's make sure we anchor that down too all layers a little lock, stitching here, okay, now, then we would come to the back, that's under thread, because that was too short and again we're starting by the ear. Remember where that connected. So, instead of working on the front now we're working on the back, you see these two lines here: one's holding the stretch, one's holding the lace we're going to sew in between that line, okay, picking up from the back the stretch and the front, and even though This is elastic thread, I'm not pulling it as tight as it can go because you wanted to have some of that. Stretchability left. Okay, now we're just gon na grab that there once you do a successful mock-up. You can then go to your sewing machine and sew. It or you just Stitch it completely by hand once you got the basic pattern, you're good to go, I'm sure you can see so yeah. Now, if you notice the pins are in between the stretch and the lace, let me put in another hat and that's also why you want the stretch to be longer than the back and overlap it. So that way, when you sew it, you can sew both layers at the same time and then, however, you finish it whether it be a blanket stitch, a whip, Stitch or whatever or machine Stitch. Even you know those two pieces will be permanently connected. Okay, now a dart didn't show up from where that fabric um kind of stretched into the mix, but I didn't purposely put a dart there. That'S the difference. You do not want to purposely put a dart in the middle of the stretch. If a dart ends up in the stretch, it will still conform to the head that is being created on because of the simple fact that you know: that's what they do. But you don't want to add a dart because say, for instance, the dart is shaping a certain way and the stretch is going a different way on the person's head. Then that's going to be a conflict that will make a lump or a bump, and you know who wants that this is when you would trim off the stretch. You would trim off the lace. What I usually do is I fold this back, so you were the lace it the stretches. I would literally fold that back and whip Stitch it and then sew the darts, I'm not going to sew the darts here. I'M just going to show you. Basically, all these pins are about to come out and you're going to see what you got. Okay, I take the pins out the back, especially the one that was holding the lace now you're, going to lift up the back to expose the stretch. Remove that PIN then put it back down. Okay, now the pins that were encased in the stretch pull those out. Then remove the cap. Well, there's one! I missed now you're going to very carefully because you don't want to stick yourself remove the pins that was inside the stretch. I usually count how many pins I have in the stretch. So that way, I know how many pins to remove the case. There was five there's a little ribbling. Okay, I'm missing a pen. Oh there we are now, as you could tell, you now, have a capped us in one piece here comes the tricky part. I'M gon na use pins to demonstrate how this is going to come together. Okay, if you'll notice, it's going like this and then like this, the back of the wig goes straight down literally so put the cap back on. Okay, like I said you're going to fold over the front with that down, then you will sew these darts for the back. You lift it up. You would literally trim off that stretch any excess and whip Stitch that down okay. Let me just go ahead and trim this so that way, you can see what we're working with here pretend these scissors are the whip Stitch. So that way you can see basically the Cap Construction. This is a stretch panel. This is lace. This is lace, that's how I got this wig cap here. Okay, now, if you notice, where the whip Stitch is there's also stitching down here, because after I was stitched it down, I went back and sewed on top of it. The Grommet is a piece of um lace, material, not lace, um, ribbon that I put straight across from the ear to the ear. That'S just for strength when you're pulling on a wig um, especially with stretch you're pulling where the ears are. If you have something like operation, HD lace, constant pulling the wig on pulling the wig off, can weaken that lace or compromise the stretch. So basically that grommet basically gives you something to pull on. So that way, when you're pulling the wig on and off you're actually pulling on that uh, reinforced rhythm, so yeah now that you're gon na trim that side gon na turn it inside out and that's where you would sew down the darts or whatever. So you end up with you know the format I was telling you about and whip that down reinforce Stitch whip, that down reinforced Stitch turn it back. And then you have a reinforced stitch on both sides and that's how you end up with a lace cap with a stretch panel. Well, actually let me fold this part in so you can see what I'm talking about. Okay, pretend that's laying down, because it was whip. Stitch, so your finished product would look something like this place stretch panel lace. All the extra will be trimmed away and you end up with a professional looking wig cap that fits your hair or the size of your mannequin head. But most people get a mannequin head that fits their head. Okay, let me bring you up, so we can discuss okay, this mannequin head is a 22 inch. The average person has a 22 inch head. This magic head will not fit this big old Dome of mine. My mannequin can hear personal mannequin head says 24, because I have a 24 inch down it's big outfit. So if I was making a wig cap for me, I would use this if I was making it for somebody said: hey, can you make me a full lace? Wig blah blah blah I'll pay. You, okay, I'm gon na charge them for the lace, I'm gon na charge them for the stretch, I'm gon na charge them for the hair. I'M gon na charge him for the ventilation, because that's what we do you know wigs are expensive, the hair is expensive, the lace is expensive and somebody go. Oh I'll pay, you 100 bucks and make me a full lace. Wig don't fall for that. You know, even if they provide the hair, you still provide a skill, that's worth your time and worth getting paid for your time. Okay now, for somebody say, make me a wig. If I look at them and can tell that they have a small head, I'm going to use a 22 inch Dome or like for my daughter 22 is too big. She'S got a little hair she's like 21 inches around. That brings me to another point. After you make your mock-up and everything and you try it on your client you're, going to literally mark Wallace on their head with a crayon or a marker, but markers are hard to remove and then you have to literally cut it off or use some kind of Solvent to get rid of crayons and chalk that stuff washes away in the first wash but you're going to Mark around their nape area. So that way you know where to attach a piece of elastic or an encased elastic closure for like Adjusters um. That would come all the way up here to where the ear is all the way around it will this one doesn't have it because since it was made for my exact head, I didn't need elastic or anything. I did need an extra Dart right there, because apparently, the nape of my neck goes into a narrow stance on this one. I put a piece of elastic there along with some calms but and that's another reason why you customize it because the elastic on this wig is only right here to here and right here to here, and this part has no elastic in it. So you know in a cup of combs I found over the years cons annoy the snot out of me just I can't stand it but okay, like I said my head Narrows right here, so I only need the elastic here and here and here to here so That way, it scrunches on the side, but there's nothing um scrunch me in the middle. I make that part narrow and my heads are Dome - is bigger here than it is here. So I only need the elastic in that spot. So yeah, that's the good thing about wheat construction. I mean it's just like. If you had a um dress form and you drape the fabric over it and then true in what you did, and you know that becomes a paper pattern and then you can sew clothes with it. That'S the same thing you did here, you drape the lace. On top do a mock-up if the mock-up's good, then you sew that down as permanent stitches, so yeah. The only thing I would change about this one is: I would move the stretch out the way put a dart in the actual lace. So that way, there's no Dart in the stretch and that way that part's move and when you put it on it, stretches here um this way and this way so that way it fits all the way around perfectly to your actual hair, so yeah um. The reason why stretch panels are good is for like okay mine are exact in my head, so I don't have to do all that. You know but safe once you're working with someone who their head might be 21 inches, 22 inches 21 and a half you make it to their size, and it will stretch that way that way. This way - and this way this material is four way stretch, and this doesn't stretch at all, as you could tell, which is why having a stretch panel is desirable. Uh just give you a good example of that. Okay, this doesn't stretch we're starting here and it stretches all the way down to there. That'S quite a bit stretch. So that's why you would like to have a piece of stretch, material that conforms to the head that you're working with now, I'm going to put all this lace back up before. I forget because yeah this lace actually got lost about new lace and basically found the lace a year later and the dumb part was. It was four feet from me. The whole time I just didn't know it. It had fell behind my dresser. So until I moved the dresser, it was just sitting there being an expense that uh couldn't be used because well, like I said it was expensive and it didn't get to be used because it got lost. So that's when I put it in this bag and then that bag goes into another bag and yeah. Every time I used to stretch, I make sure I Fold It Up. Nice and neat because stretch will wrinkle you don't want it to wrinkle, because then, when you have to use it, those wrinkles don't necessarily iron out because of the simple fact that this material can't really earn it. You go blow dry, it you can um, it can withstand heat, but when it comes to direct heat like I urn is polyester or something it will melt. If you get it too hot and since I don't know how hot that temperature would be, I don't risk it. This is an oat wig bag, as you can tell it came with a hole in it. So that way, when I put stuff in there, I could squeeze it down and squeeze all that excess air out, and then I put it in this bag that has a zipper. So that way, it's always protected. Never Dusty - and I know exactly where this is at all times, because I'm not losing it again: okay and yeah. Well, actually, I'm gon na take a picture of this and then I'm going to take it apart and put it back in my lace stash. So that way, Monica see I was supposed to be - it was a unique there. We go by the way, the little flaps that show up when you make this when you cut around the ear after um. You know the construction is complete. That disappears all together, um. Actually, let me show you yeah, pretty quick, okay, this part. Is this part when you cut it around your ear? It goes away oh and just occurred to me, because somebody will ask that black running Stitch right. There. That'S elastic's thread like I said. I didn't need anything here because my the back of my neck is narrow, but I did knee stretch on the sides so that way it stretches out or squinches in where my head does so that way, when I put it on it still holds. Even though there's no elastic in the back um Andrew SRI standard, they always put the elastic in the back. I don't get that not everybody can use the elastic in the back. Some of us need it on the sides. You know just from the shape of our heads. That'S like this wig cap is made from a dome cap. If it didn't have any elastic here now, it's going to have a panel here, if ventilating directly on it, doesn't work out, but it has been but safer. As I try to put a closure there, then I would sew through all layers of this, not just the top layer, so that way the elastic that's in there automatically becomes the elastic band. But technically I only need elastic from here to here and from here to here and the bag. I don't need elastic, but other people. They might need that elastic band, all the way around to hold it on their head and some people might only need it. You know that's the fun part about customizing something to the individual. Mostly I customize things too. The way my head is and then, if that doesn't work for somebody, then I go behind myself and customize it to the way their head is because the only head model I have other than the 22 inch mannequin or canvas block and the 24 inch is a Head mode, and if someone sends me a head mode, I'm going to put it on the 22 inch and Pat it out. So that way it matches their head, and that will be my my mannequin or my um blog that I could work on unless they say. I got a dome. It'S like okay tape, measure time, because I have only met two people in my entire life that has a head as big as mine and they're related to me and one of them's male. You know it's like. I went to put on a hat, you can't wear my hat and the hat was too tight and it's like you know, we're mad, but I'm a guy. I was like and I got a dome now. I try to play it off and say it was because you know my hair is natural and it's fluffy, but y'all know when I braid my hair down. It'S still 24 inches around because I got I don't know anyway. This has been people of seven on Twitter and YouTube YouTube on the internet. My self-located purple butterfly Dash soaps.myshopify.com, my black purple butterfly Dash people of that black spot.com y'all stay blessed, stay tuned bye. Now I've talked myself worse it's time for coffee, maybe breakfast because well it's 8 17 in the morning and time to get on my day, I have a happy Saturday. This has been people of seven, don't forget to like comment, subscribe and share bye. Now this is the wig cap we just made. You will notice. It Gathers once it's off of the wig, the canvas black, because the stretches retracted. Okay, I'm going to put this on it's going to be a little tight because that's a 22 and my head is two inches bigger, because I got a dome, as you can tell you know, even when I anchor it down, get all my hair out the way It'S still a big hit, but I feel it's important to show you how it's going to look and then we're going to map the hairline. Okay, oh yeah! That'S a real tight fit out! Okay, by the way, if you have a selvedge Edge, cut that off the finished product before you start working on the ventilation process there we go now take some crayons in a relatively dark color. You don't want to use white or a light color that you can't see through okay. Now you see where it's overlapping the ear when you cut it off after constructing the wig. That part is going to be completely gone. Okay, now it's gon na be hard to see because I'm not wearing my glasses, but I have a Widow's Peak here and and see. I have an uneven hairline, which is why I started making wigs in the first place, because I could never find a wig that you know was shaped like my head, that uh now you're going to go around your ear and foreign. That part would literally get cut off of the air, so you end up with a flatter surface. This part will be missing. This part will be missing because it's going around the ear and that's how you get the shape of the wig cap. Okay, all this overlap will be gone because the ears appear, which is why, when you Stitch it down you're going to stitch it down in a way that reinforces all of that uh. That was so tight. It was pressing in on my ears and all of a sudden I couldn't hear because it pressed in but yeah, let's put this back on the weekend, so you can see what I'm talking about foreign see my Widows Peak there. Now, when you get to the ear section that will be cut off where the stretch is at part of the lace and same thing on this side, so you don't have to worry about the overlap and all that for construction, because that part gets trimmed off. That'S. Why, when I said, do a whip, Stitch and then fold it back into a whip Stitch you end up with something that looks like a French sing, so that way when there's a reinforced, ditch like right here, I didn't show that last time after you Stitch It Down you're going to fold it down that didn't really give myself enough leeway. I always leave this lovely way, you're going to fold it down and Stitch that and then on the inside. You do the same thing so that way, you have a reinforced Stitch that way when you cut it, those stitches will stay in place, especially if you're using a lock stitch. I took away my examples I'll be right back. Am I recording there? We go oh good. It'S still recording alarm means it's time to take my medicine, but okay, you see where the stitches are reinforced. Those are lock stitches. So when that part got cut off where the ear is, I didn't have to worry about it. Unraveling because there's lock stitches all the way through um. Basically, a lock stitch is like a blanket stitch. Your advice familiar with a blanket stitch. Well, when you do a blanket stitch, every three or four blanket stitches you're going to make a knot. You know it's like you, wind the yard, a couple extra ties and give it a pull. It makes a knot so when you trim it and when I do it, everything at the edge is not stitch and then the rest is blanket stitches. So that way, when you cut it, that's not unraveling at all, because there's lock stitches all the way through. So even when you trim it off you're still golden so yeah um. Let me see if I could show you the thread I used that thread. I went to Joanne's Fabric see what my finger is. That thread is the exact same color of my skin. I went to Jo-Ann Fabric. I went to the guterman section. Actually you could see it better over here and um. I literally went to where all the colored threads were and literally picked up. One picked up, another picked up another and matched it to my skin tone. I figure that way it would match. You know when I do I mean, and I made sure it was polyester or nylon thread. I ended up with polyester thread that still has a little stretch to it. Cotton thread will pop, especially on the part where the elastic is nylon thread has a little stretch. Polyester thread has a little stretch flat out. Elastic thread has a little stretch, so that's what you want to use so that way, when you're doing a lock stitch a blanket stitch or a whip Stitch or whatever, when you put it on your head, you don't have to worry about, and then you have to Re-Sew, those sections - because that's annoying trust me but anyway, I just wanted you to see that so yeah. In the meantime, I'm going to take my hair back a loose because well, this hairstyle does not work for me. It'S like this part is Fluffy and this part is sewn down and I'm not wearing a wig today, so I'm just gon na let my stuff fluff out besides, it's still wet because I washed my hair this morning anyway.
