Hi, Just a quick comment to please the Mighty Algorithm. In time I would like to learn how to use the brim wire to shape the brim, for example if you have a Fedora that you want to flip the brim of. or, even more, how to shape the brim on a late 1920s clock (like in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries). But it can wait. Yours, Ann

Hi there. Can you use artistic wire or is it not the same? I love hates and want to get the brim perfect!!!

I use whatever wire (jewellery type) I have at hand and tend to either tape or, if I happen to have some to hand, use crimp beads or tubes reinforced with E6000 jewellery glue. I dont know how long it will hold up but I try to make the joins as invisible as possible usually using long crimp bead/tubes in much the same way as you use those ferrules (I go for bigger than the wire to be able to overlap and give glue something to hold too).

I want to nou hou can i stitch the wire when I must fold the brim and stitch the wire at the sametime in the brim

[@janebutters9644]

hi,just found you ,many thanks,I wish to make a floppy brimmed hat with wire in the brim that allows me to twist it to make it fit into a small bag,hope I am making sense,think I need sprung wire like piano wire,have a lovely pattern but only one sprung wire circle

[@SHMillinery]

Hi Jane, Sprung wire wouldn't bend easily, you might need to look at memory wire? Mind you I haven't made a wired packable hat
