Wefting - Step 1: Sewing loose hair to tulle
 
Wefting - Step 1: Sewing loose hair to tulle
Kukkii-san
Cut strips of tulle that are at least 2" / 5cm wide. The maximum length you'll need for a wig should be around 16" / 40cm (you can, however, cut the finished wefts apart or put small pieces together when making your wig.)

It doesn't really matter what kind of tulle, just use normal, cheap tulle that matches the color of the hair extensions. The tulle is mandatory because it keeps the hair from getting sucked into the sewing machine and blocking it.

Place the tulle in your sewing machine, ready to go, take a strand of blended hair and start spreading it evenly on the tulle. I use a strong needle (using a thin needle may cause the thread to rip); normal, quality sewing thread; a straight stitch and a very small stitch width (just a little above the buttonhole setting.)

Stitch all along the tulle strip, feeding the hair evenly as you go. No clumps, no bald spots! (Thanks to Gren for this advice^^)

Lock the ends as you would with a regular seam.
