Speer prepares to place the felt piece into her shaping machine, known by many names, including Brim Iron.
Covet Hats by Aimee Speer
This machine has many names, but is more commonly called a Brim Iron, and is designed to create the hard crease between the brim and the crown of a hat. It comes with 1 set of plates which are heated by the iron and the crown of the hat is inserted into the hole in the center of the plate. The brim is sandwiched between the plate and the iron top giving the brim a nice flat clean crease.

Speer both shows and explains the process of working with the Brim Iron.
