I have a question for those who have worked on their own ribbons...
Here is one I am working on. I just have it tacked down right now.
I think that the top of the ribbon will shrink tight to the hat when I steam it (after it is fully attached) - but what about a hat with more taper? How do guys get the ribbon tight at both the bottom and the top of the ribbon when the hat has a bunch of taper?
You need to iron a curve into the ribbon. I believe its called "swirling" or something along those lines. There are a couple of threads showing it...
One thread: RibbonSwirling
I know there is one with pics that show it well. Search on swirling.
