Straw / milliners needles: When you use the right needles it is so much easier to stitch a fine stitch. Use fine needles for fine work as in number 10,11 & 12. Use numbers 7, 8, & 9 to join crowns & brims & wire. Use numbers 4, 5 & 6 to make hat blocks.

Blocking Pins Steel pins are very useful for blocking; they put you in control of your work.

ThimblesA must when making hats. There is no way you can block hats without using of a thimble. The use of hammers will stop you from being in control of your work. If you are not sure of what is the right size, then measure the circumference of your middle finger. The thimble goes on to the middle finger of your working hand. The thimbles made of brass are nickel plated.
Pins Pearlised pins with coloured plastic heads are great for general pinning of work.
Vliesofix also known as Wonder Web or Wonder Under A great solution for fusing materials together. Can be used in many places where you normally would use glue. You can safely join without marking the material by using Vliesofix.
