    Honestly one of the most helpful tutorials I've seen and it's free, damn near unheard of. I took a class this summer and I've been lowkey struggling. My first wig came out ok and then I did it over 3 more times getting closer each time, but I knew something was missing. This was one of the parts! I'm so excited to keep practicing and launch my wig line next year. God really will send exactly what you NEED, even though he may not always send what you want. Thank You so much for these tuts!!!!

    Also, you dont have to space the tracks out if you pull the cap kind of taught when you are sewing, you only lose cap when you allow the cap to go into the machine without being pulled taught, i havent had any sizing issues with doing it 😘 just as long as you arent pulling it super tightly
