Not getting a clean stitch!

Ugh that’s the worst feeling!!! It’s so tough. I don’t know if you’ve tried this yet before but I buy my thread directly from the IBE store and it is so much smoother than any other cotton thread that I’ve tried! I saw someone else on here say to put oil on your thread and flat iron it? I think you’re getting cross hairs from the cotton picking up the hairs but without a pic it’s hard to tell!

Try spraying that top section with water prior to stitching.

Try practicing on a daughter or friend with the hair you got in your kit to see if you can get it cleaner, sometimes it is just because we try and hurry, instead of focusing stitch by stitch, your stitching pattern looks excellent though! Just those dang hairs.

Curious to how many pieces of hair are on this row? Is it maybe to many? Just a thought, I can’t tell by the picture but maybe?

When you section out your hair, put the top section in a scrunchie or a hair tie. Take a working hairspray and spray your top section prior to placing it in the scrunchie. Then place Velcro strips all along the top.

From my point of view, it Looks as if your scoop with the needle is going to far down under the bottom weft, so when you pull the thread up it will grab hairs. Try not scooping too deep. Try to keep the needle close to the base as possible. I used to get this problem too until I stopped scooping too deep. Just another thought. I hope this helps. I use hairspray on the top and bottom before I place my wefts. Seems to be more secure and prevents the bottom weft from slipping.
