Hello, I am struggling on rooting. I use the precut needles that are 38g. I can't even get the swirl to begin. I worked for Lee Middleton Dolls and for her x, Lloyd. But wigging and rooting are two different things and I am finding that the video I was suggested to buy from secrist really isn't helping me grasp the concept I guess. Is there any other video's out there, that is like for dummies,lol? Or is there online classes out there for this? Or do any of you offer a video on here and I am just not finding it? I have been all over this forum looking at everyones babies and their hair on the babies are just wonderful.. And I am so wanting to learn it for myself. I love making the dolls and I am hooked on it big time, just need help in some area's.

After Lee passed away her kids took over and they started to down size the company and then they sold everything over sea's so that caused us all to lose our jobs, which i loved that job!!! Playing with babies all day was great and getting paid for it,lol. i painted for them both but did all the other stations as well.

Where do you live cause I am here in Vienna. It would be great if I knew someone else in this area that did reborning.

Why did they shut the factory down :(.............. Oh I'm in waverly ohio :)

From what we were told the kids didn't want to mess with it and over sea's they could get their product down cheaper than paying us.
