Hello all. Can anyone out there tell me the best alcohol to use when firing a hat?
Hello all. Can anyone out there tell me the best alcohol to use when firing a hat?
I have a question. Is there a brush that is gentle on fur felt hats to brush away lint. I have a mint green with emerald ribbon. The lint from the ribbon can be seen on the brim of the hat.
I watched a video of the firing of a hat and the guy covered the brim so alcohol wouldn't get on it. It would seem to me that one would want to fire the brim as well. What is your opinion?
There is a specific piece for binding brim edges for specific widths of ribbons. I know some custom hatters don't do 4 ligne ribbon edge binding but do larger, 6 ligne, because they don't have the right "jig".Has anyone ever heard of an adapter for a regular sewing machine to help sew sweatbands or brim edgings?
Thanks in advance.
