    Singer 46-100 sewing machine

    I have one. Timing is fine. Problem is needles. The needle for this machine was not widely used, if I remember correctly it is a 46x11. Nobody makes them. There is no cross reference number in any line.

    What can I do to help this panama hat?

    Looks to be a coconut palm braid. I would go with RBH on this one and just wet it down a bit and see if it will take a new shape. It can be professionally reblocked if it is indeed a coconut, but you can almost buy a new one for what you would have in it at that point. Jimmy

    Can a felt brim edge be modified?

    It can be done, I have done several, but you may end up closer to 2 inches. The edge doesn't fold evenly and has to be trimmed to be even. Jimmy

    Anyone interested?

    The Pinnacle is a dress hat, thinner and softer felt. If they cost the same as they did previously, they will be about $150. They would all be reblocked shooting for a 5 1/2 inch open crown, possibly slightly taller. That all depends on the individual hats. A bound edge would be an...
