I know there are demos for making clip ins, but I haven't found one that goes in depth as much as I need it to. Like "Sew the clip onto the weft"..... not enough info for me, as I don't know how to sew. I don't know how to thread a needle or tie a knot securely once I'm done. Can anyone point me in the direction of a demo for the basics of sewing?
Also, how many clips per weft do I need? If anybody has experience, I'd like to know how many inches are between your clips in your clip-ins. Also, what size of clips is preferred.
Thanks!

Well, I've tied my shoes many times, but that's not the same knot.... is it?

One of the best knot ideas I have seen is take & pull the string through a piece of material, loop it back through the thread and pull till tight. Do that a couple times that puppy is not coming loose.

Thanks for all of your tips! I'm going to have to give this a try.... hopefully with the elite thermofiber, whenever the #10/16/27 color gets back in stock.
