Greetings, Elena, from San Antonio, Texas. I love your detailed tutorial. Question: @22:42 of your video, I would love to know more about how did you create that particular hat block? I see an awesome new design and nothing like it. 🤩 How did you shape the dip in the front? I'm an aspiring milliner starting from close to scratch and learning from watching videos such as yours. Thank you!
Hi Elena,your job is great. I can not to have block hat.i like very much to have the pattern of tear drop hat.would you please tell the pattern and the all size in centimeter? Thanks for your descriptions and for your time
Hi Helena, very interesting video you didn't spare yourself, thanks. I am interested in the shapes for hats in sparterie and I have some and I don't know how to block, could you give me some indication? greetings from Rome
Hi Claudia, My apologies for a delayed reply. Thank you for your comment, I an happy to hear you enjoying my hat making video tutorials 😊 Blocking is a vast subject and very much depends what material you are blocking and what type of shape. There are many different techniques and various steps to follow. Basics are - stiffening, stretching, steaming, securing on a hat block. If you wish to learn the basics of blocking I would highly recommend to take atleast a short course to understand how to manipulate and handle the fabric, what steps to follow, what tools you might need. Blocking in general is not hard but has a lot of technical steps. I am happy to offer you a short online one day course about blocking explaining all you need to know and answering all the questions. Let me know if you might be interested and I will provide with further details. Kind regards, Elena
Pls Elena where can I get buckram./stiffner the glue/old brim blocks and half moons hat blocks to buy. I prefers the steaming to block. That's the way we were thought. I will buy some of your old blocks.
Hi Elena thanks for the video. Will you please show us how to measure the size (width) of the brim block using a tape, i am struggling with that. Thanks, from South Africa.

He’s Suzan, you need to use a special millinery stiffener to get better results. Alternatevely if non available, you can try a white pva glue slightly dissolved with water
It’s very much depends where you are located. To begin with you can start etsy/ebay etc.. searching for second hand hat blocks. You might also google local hat block makers in your area. Try checking HaTalk online magazine for suggestions, they have a lot of information about millinery.
