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!

@Itsbigcyn 2 года назад

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.

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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XgvEu-ApCJw.html - if this link doesn’t work I just posted it in the description!

@jayeluaka1091 9 месяцев назад

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?

@Itsbigcyn 9 месяцев назад

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.

@idyidy5810 Год назад

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?

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

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

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.

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

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.

@stellauloma6933 Год назад

Plz my thread always cut, i cant sew because the thread cuts before i finish sewing one line. Plz help

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

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.

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...)

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

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.

@mrsperfectco6981 Год назад

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.

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.

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

@shaywoods4270 Год назад

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

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

🤣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 😬

@ericadiane2687 10 месяцев назад

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?

@Itsbigcyn 10 месяцев назад

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.

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

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

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 ♥️

@tiffanygrose5943 Год назад

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

@tiffanygrose5943 Год назад

Keep on the good work

@Itsbigcyn Год назад

@@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!

@tiffanygrose5943 Год назад

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?
