Ole, VERY good explanation!!!! I will have to steal this picture from you when explaining flanging as well.
Thank you, but no you won't. If you can use it, then please do. If only the grandkids were so easy to satisfy! *<|;o) ... Ho-Ho-Ho.
The bound edge of the flanged rim, I can imagine, also aides in creating the snap-brim.
Absolutely! My own findings make me very cautious, not to flat-iron a bound brim, when renovating a hat. Instead I iron it on a flange. If you iron the brim flat, you also stretch the ribbon, but it won't always crimp again, when you flange the brim. That can (partly) destroy the brim's ability to snap properly.
