Hi all,
It's my first time on here, and judging from the amount of spam it may well
be my last. I hope some genuine readers are able to find my question!
I am trying to find a tool or device that will eliminate the need for needle
and thread (and I don't mean a sewing machine!).
I am assembling hair extensions from wafts of hair that need 'snap clips'
attached. Basically, these small clips contain tiny holes through which a
small needle just about fits. They are supposed to be sewn on to the seam
across the top of the hair waft. You can see a small photo of the clips
here:

(The actual length of the clips are about 2cm, to give you an idea of the
proportion.)
The usual method is by needle and thread, where a 'simple' stitch ties the
clip and hair waft together: a thread is pulled through the clip hole, and
then through the hair waft's seam. The thread is then directed back over the
tops of both items to do the same thing again several times, forming a small
loop which is then sealed off like a basic knot.
