[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks Rosa for the king words. The wire is 19 gauge and there is a link in the description. I hope you give it a go. Please have a look at my other videos. I have the best method to make scrunchies and there is also a video for a hair bun maker. Have a great day!

[@user-hf7pr1mn7r]

So cute! Are they comfortable and stay on easy?

[@NotchesSewing]

Yes they do. Please have a look at. my other video. I came up with even easier method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWcaZp-d5p5gdE

[@Nlyoungblood1]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a few but wanted to make my own, I was not sure what size wire was being used, then I found your video. What is the purpose of placing the wire in when it is halfway turned out versus simply placing it after turning it?

[@NotchesSewing]

The wire in this headband is inside that small channel and not just flopping around inside the headband. This is to ensure that the wire goes right to the ends of the points of the headband. You need to put wire in before closing the channel. You won’t be able to insert from the end if you turn it all out first. You’ll see what I mean if you try to do it that way. Thanks for watching. Please check out my other tutorials on my channel. Cheers!

[@outdoorkorean4220]

What kind of wire and size did you use? Wonderful explain. I loved it very much. So details and tips, you are good teacher. Thank you so much. How to hear from you.

[@NotchesSewing]

Please check details in description 😊

[@sandypluss5017]

Beautiful headbands. Can't wait to try this! Why do you not use the selvedge?

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks Sandy. A selvage is the tightly woven edge of a fabric. It prevents the side edges of the fabric from unravelling or fraying. Don't use the selvage in your project because it is more densely woven and does not have the same stretch or weight as the rest of the fabric. Thanks for watching.😊

[@sandypluss5017]

@@NotchesSewing thanks, this is helpful. I've always used it so I don't have to edge seams, just for ease!!!! Opps!

[@marymccusker5295]

How is the headband washed? Does the wire hold up with washing or is the shape of the headband ruined? Or the color of the fabric ruined? I’m a newbie to your channel. Love your tutorials!!

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks for watching Mary. Handwash the headband. Using stainless steel wire or galvanised wire protects from corrosion so should be ok.( I can’t guarantee anything though.....)

[@ancavisan1645]

Thank you for sharing! What is your industrial sewing machine? Is a Juki? Which model?

[@NotchesSewing]

I use a Brother s-7200. Have used them for many years. Please watch my jean hem video it shows some of my machines.🙂

[@jocenypinheiro311]

Eu vi na descrição, então é mesmo 40 por 7 ? Esse tamanho é pra adulto 😃😍

[@NotchesSewing]

Sim, este tamanho adulto. O comprimento extra é para que você possa enrolá-lo em um laço ou roseta. Obrigado por assistir e dê uma olhada em alguns dos meus outros vídeos. Saúde

[@SewFelicia]

Can you use the same craft wire as the hair bun bow? I’m out at the moment also can’t watch the video yet

Is there a trick or best way to turn the wired end out? Any tips?

[@user-vp7iu7go4q]

I work in a hair salon I gave all of the stylists one but 3 broke already I used 20 gage wire What gage would be stronger?

[@NotchesSewing]

Try using 19 gauge. The smaller the number, the thicker the wire. Also, please have a look at my other video for a wired headband. I made this method even easier. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWcaZp-d5p5gdE

[@JessieJo386]

What kind of stitch did you use, and what size(length) of the stitch is it? Thank you so much!

[@NotchesSewing]

You’re welcome 😊. It’s just a plain straight stitch equal to about 2.5-3. Cheers

[@SCTutu]

How long would you cut the fabric for a child’s headband?

[@NotchesSewing]

Hard for me to say exactly as I do not make much for kids anymore. Try shortening by 4 inches. Wrap a tape measure or string or even the wire around child’s head to see how much of the ears you want to twist around before cutting fabric.

[@katietodd8550]

Hi there I saw that they are 7inches wide but how long is the Fabric strip?

[@NotchesSewing]

40” long. Please have a look at my even easier method to make these. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWcaZp-d5p5gdE

[@arleneortiz3619]

What fabric do you use

[@NotchesSewing]

I’ve used all cotton fabric but you can use satins, velvets, rayons and polyesters.

[@snookstheoriginal]

How many yards of fabric?

[@NotchesSewing]

all details in description

[@blotchilim1980]

Oops, i never cut off the selvage 😱 i just know that we could and we should!

[@NotchesSewing]

The selvage is finished to keep the fabric from unravelling and is usually tighter and heavier than the rest of the fabric. I will not act like the rest of the fabric so you should never use it in your project. Of course there is no selvage using police...😃. Thanks for watching.

[@DarkHornet922]

So in total one headband will be 40in by 7in. Just for clarity because that seems like an awfully long headband. I am excited to try it but want the lengths first

[@NotchesSewing]

Yes that is the length. You can make shorter if you want but remember you will have shorter ends to twist around. Have a look at this even easier method I have. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIWcaZp-d5p5gdE

[@DarkHornet922]

@@NotchesSewing thank you! I can't wait to make some 😊

[@kellejones930]

Am I the only one confused about the wire channel? Lol My wire won't push all the way through. When I get about 8" from the end it just won't push through anymore. Could you show a little more detail on that part please?

[@NotchesSewing]

Not sure why it wouldn’t push through. Is it getting caught on the fabric you are using? Try watching the video at half speed for more clarity. Cheers😊
