    Thank you guys so much for your help. Will post my first hat soon. But i do have one more question. So I'm impatient so I want to stiffen my hat as easy as I can. So can i use spray shellac or fabric stiffener to stiffen my hat? Just spray and steam?

    So I blocked my first hat and its maybe a little less than half an inch too big. Is there an easy at to fix this or do i need to reblock before I put on the ribbon and sweatband?

    So im new here and had a question. If I block and shape my hat purely with steam, and mess it up, can i start over? Or will i be stuck with a messed up hat and need to buy another felt?

    How durable are wool felt bodies? Im very new to hat making and wanted to practice with wool felt since its much cheaper. And its the same principle? Get it hot and drenched and stretch it over the block, then iron it to shape?

    Is blocking a panama hat the same as a felt hat? I found some panama hat bodies but unsure of how to shape it.
