Hat making?? Learning Millinery..

[belfastboy]

Has anyone tried this cotton/polyester blend grosgrain from AgnoulitaHats on Etsy? I'm sure it's not as good as the old cotton/rayon stuff but I'm wondering if it's workable

I hate being in the same room as polyester. It is stiff and just does not drape well. Guy Morse Brown sells contemporary Brit ribbon- cotton/rayon that is decent. The stuff that Tim is bringing in at PureBeaver is very good.

I know that 100 percent polyester is awful to work with. I'm curious if there's enough cotton content in this stuff to make it usable. The price is tempting enough that I might give it a shot.

I have not used it but have had other hatters tell me it is not great. Give it a go and report to us.
