The fixing of the scales together for squamata in most cases is done with a very simple strip of metal in the shape of a paper clip that is bent over at the rear of the scale.
Then if sewing the scale rows onto the material it is much better to only sew them on in numbers of 10 to 15 scales at a time, which makes them better to control as opposed to a whole horizontal row of them the next group just clipped on with the paper clip connection.
At the beginning of the sewing one stitches the first five then connect the next 10 and then it becomes easy to sew at ten each time with the end five loose to allow the connection of the next few.
