Members Double Daddy Posted March 5, 2018 Members Report Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Hello, all! I'm looking at (maybe) adding a bush-style hat to my products...oil-tanned leather...but I'm at a loss as to what type of foot is needed to install the wire in the hemmed edge around the hat brim in this photo (found online). My machine is a CB3200. If this is beyond the reasonable capacity of that, fine...I'm looking to add a lighter duty model (e.g. Consew P1206RB, etc) to the fleet later this year anyway...just trying to decide now if it's worth the effort/$$ to purchase the extra tooling or simply wait on the other machine before adding this new item. Help/suggestions most appreciated! Edited March 5, 2018 by Double Daddy Quote Have a great day! Chris
CowboyBob Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Chris, You need a welt foot for that,I do have some in stock for the CB3200BUT a 1206 with a welt foot would do a better job in something that thin.You probably want to use a #69 thread for a finer looking stitch?

Members Double Daddy Posted March 5, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks, Bob for the quick response! Yeah...not so sure that 5/6oz material hat would look too good with #277-ish yarn around the rim! I believe I'll just wait till the mason jar is full enough to add the 1206 to the shop. I'm debating between it or another lighter-duty cylinder arm model...either way, I'll be calling you since my CB3200 came from your warehouse. Thanks for the insight! Quote Have a great day! Chris

You should make a short production video so we can see how its done. I know mine would end up looking like floppy mess. Quote One day I hope to learn how to sew.....

Members DrmCa Posted March 5, 2018 Members Report Posted March 5, 2018 I would add a couple of mesh eyelets on each side or heads are going to sweat pretty badly.
