Great solution with the binding. I'll try to match the existing color so, hopefully, I won't have that problem.- humanshoes

I'm determined not to let this beautiful felt go to the scrap heap Tuk. First, I'll try to re-dye it for Brent. If that fails, then beater/hiking/working hat it is. This nutria body doesn't have the thinness of a vintage felt, but it certainly has the tight felting and soft hand of one.- humanshoes

It all boils down to the learning curve Terry. Practice on your scrap brim trimmings, use cheap ribbon, and be prepared to throw a lot of it away. You'll be a master in no time.- humanshoes

Beautiful machine Terry! That 201 is, by most accounts, the best home sewing machine that Singer ever made. Another great thing about the old Singers, aside from the fact that they were made to last many lifetimes, is that parts were made by the millions so are plentiful and relatively...- humanshoes

You betcha Mike. I took a chance on an open box model on Ebay just to save some coin. I couldn't justify the expense otherwise. Working out great so far.- humanshoes

Ask a question, get an answer
Go for it JJ. Used westerns in your size should be plentiful and inexpensive. Fire up the steam iron and flatten the brims (use pressing cloth). Fire up the teapot and steam and reshape the crowns and/or brims. Rip off the old ribbons and add your own unique touch. When you get tired of one...- humanshoes

With everyone's indulgence, I'd like to throw this out here for general comments and opinions. I recently saw a picture of a hat (pic 1) describing the various hat parts and really like the ribbon treatment. So much so that I set about trying to recreate the tri-color ribbon using one of my...- humanshoes
