f/o leaving a long tail for sewing. You could add a wire to the tail as I did or you can leave that part out. If you use the wire then bend the wire and push it into the tail, making sure the wire outlines the entire inside edge of the tail. Cut the wire down to size, leaving about 2 inches then bend the tips over so there are no sharp points. Now bend the exposed wire so that the ends goes up in the direction of the head then sew the tail in place.
