🙋♀️“Why do you teach us to manually sew the hardware instead of just using a sewing machine?”
💡The answer is simple. I want you to learn more than one way to execute the process and always have a backup plan.
✍️Not everyone owns a sewing machine, and not everyone knows how to use one. I never want a lack of equipment to stop you from creating a quality wig, so I teach the manual method first.
✍️When using the dome cap method, a sewing machine needle goes completely through the spandex as it stitches. Because those stitches run through the stretch material, they can reduce the dome cap’s ability to stretch to its full capacity. That flexibility is important for comfort and fit.
✍️When you manually sew in your hardware, you have complete control over where your needle goes. You can strategically place your stitches while preserving more of the stretch in the cap.
✍️Does that mean you cannot use a sewing machine? Absolutely not. You are more than welcome to use one if that is your preferred method. I simply want you to understand the difference and why I teach it the way I do.
💡Remember, my goal is not to teach you just one technique. My goal is to equip you with multiple methods so that you can confidently execute the procedure regardless of the tools you have available.
