Is there a way to keep the felt from caving in when you sew the hatband on. Maybe I didn't put enough stiffener on or the felt isn't that great but sometimes when I make a felt hat, trying to stitch the hatband makes the felt dimple in.

By the way. Want to share something I do when putting bands on in any hat. I cut a point on the underneath piece of ribbon/fabric so that when the other end of the fabric/ribbon laps over, it is much easier to not see the edges of the thing underneath. I have always had trouble attaching both ends and keeping the underneath end from showing.

===> -on the underneath end of the ribbon

===] on the end on the top.

Thank you
