Description
Heavy Buckram is considered a foundation fabric. Therefore, milliners use it as the foundation or frame of a hat. Heavy Buckram fabric is used to make buckram hat frames when a stiffer, blocked hat is desired. Use a fabric like our French Fleece to cover the buckram frame before covering with fabric. As a result, your fabric will be smooth and you have just created a quality hat!
