Can I sew on clips to a hand-tied weft? I can't seem to find the kind of hair I want on machine weft. |

Hmmm I dont know too much about making clip in's but I think Metalgirl wears them daily and makes her own so she may be able to help you out with your question. ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |

I have made many a clip in with hand tied wefts. First of all, I decide how many of the hand tied wefts I want to use to make each track. I usually take 3 and sometimes 4 of them (I like to wear a lot of hair) and zig zag stitich them together on the sewing machine. I also decide how wide I need the track, and as you know, those hand tieds usually come in 10" wide pieces. So, to make my top tracks which are 12" wide, before I zig zag stitch them I stagger the hand tied pieces to achieve the length that I want. Hope this makes sense. That does cause a little more bulkiness, but not bad. Because of the zig zag stitching, there is something more sizable to sew the clips into. I like hand tied because I it doesn't shed. However, my current clips in are machine wefted, and I zig zag stitich over each one 3 times, so it hardly sheds at all after that. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |
