Hi, I'm very much with you on this. It's so sloppy of the so called journalists to not do their research. (I'm an old school journalists daughter and my father an I had numerous dinner conversations through my growing up and all the way till he passed.) On a different wrinkle, where should I look for Dior/Paris net, and what kind of buckram would you recommend to beginner like. The buckram seem to come in different weight and with different aspects of "glue". Yours, Ann
Hi Ann, unfortunately Dior/Paris net is no longer produced, so it is not possible to buy it anymore. Standard medium weight buckram is what I use. It will probably be listed as the "most popular" item on suppliers' websites.
Hi again, I hope you're day's been good, my inquiries notwithstanding. I've realized that I live in a very small country. The whole country only has around 10 million people, which is around what the five boroughs of New York, N.Y, Unfortunately when I've asked about buckram in my shop, which happens to be part of the biggest chain in Scandinavia (I think), they never even heard about a cotton fabric stiffener being used to make hats. Very annoying. These people has been living and breathing fabrics an sewing for all their life. I a complete newbie on anything fabric related, have them stumped way to often. They do have something kind of similar, but it's plastic, and I don't want to go down that route if I don't have to. I believe in natural fibers, even if it's Toyo. Luckily there are places in Great Britain to shop from, even if I have to clear my purchases through customs. Well, I'll leave you alone (at least for now) to enjoy the rest of your evening. Thank you so much for taking your time for me. I very much appreciate it. So very generous of you. I'll play that video, and bid you good night. Yours, Ann
Hi, Thank you. I'll give it a go. Do you have a supplier to mention or is Petersham or perhaps Parkin where I should look? Also, what is used instead of Dior net these days? As always no reply necessary. I know you are a busy lady. Yours, Ann
Hi Ann, check out this video, it might have the answers you are looking for: czcams.com/video/nnP7TS_0ovM/video.html As for suppliers, I recommend buying local. Your local fabric shop should stock normal buckram.
@@ByIlonaMillineryHi, I can't se if I tanked you for the link. If not; Thank you for the link. I'll have a look and I'm quite certain that I will learn from it. Yours, Ann
It's always nice to learn something new. Thank you.
Thank you for the explanation. Before your video, I always heard it called Russian Netting.
