[QUOTE="Ithilwyn, post: 10504348, member: 90495"] Wire isn't too bad to work with, just be careful if you are sewing it on a machine. I usually sew mine on by hand because I feel like I have better control over it that way. If you do decide to use a machine, please use protective eye wear--in a wire vs. machine needle situation, the wire wins and your needle breaks off and goes flying. If you take it slow, you probably won't have to worry about that though. All the same, better safe than sorry. There are several places you can get buckram. Joann's usually carries a fairly light weight buckram with their interfacing supply. So far, it has been adequate for what I want to do with it. If your hat calls for something heavier, you'll need to take a look at a millinery supply store. There are several companies that have online ordering that you can check out the [URL=http://gbacg.org/resources.htm#Millinery%20Supplies]GBACG website[/URL]. Hope that helps and have a great time making those hats! :) [/QUOTE]
