Heat resistant fabric?
Hello everyone, I'm looking for a fabric that could withstand heat at around 100 C / 210 F , but wouldn't be a harsh material. As pliable and soft to the touch as possible. Thoughts..??- Emilis

Dear TFL members, A question about flanging... If the front and back of a flange is lets say 3cm (1.2inches), and the sides are 1.5cm(0.6inches), after flanging, will the hat 'snap' and stay nicely? Attaching a picture of a result I'm looking for. Thank you in advance for your answers! -Emilis -

So the situation for me is like this... In my country, there is literally only one lady that makes hats, and when I started asking questions about apprenticeship, she clearly started ignoring. Next, there is no course in any school that teaches anything related to hat making. Then the global... -

But that's the thing, I do not want my hats brim to be flat, nor to be facing up like your "flat" hats brim is. The ones I would like to make, the brim would be facing down. Is there a flange for that aswell? -

Another question... I've been doing my research on hat steamer alternatives and I came across an idea of buying a wallpaper stripper steamer, cutting off the hose to 4 to 6", and theres your hat steamer! I need opinions on this. Thank you in advance everyone! -

You're right, but the idea is to fit heads sized 56-60cm, not all. Or you think the elastic sweatband wouldn't work on such a wide scale of heads?
