Step 4Reinforce the Brim
Turn brim right side out. Press the outer edge.
Clip the points off so the inner circle edge is smooth and neat.
Topstitch close to the edge of the brim along the large arc. Then topstich a series of lines parallel to the outer edge. I do this by lining up the needle on the far left and following the line of the previous stitching with the right edge of the presser foot.
TEST YOUR BRIM
To see if your brim is stiff enough, hold it up against your head now, putting it against your forehead and around, pressing the ends against the sides of your head. If it keeps its shape, it should work fine. If not, you can add more topstitching between the lines you've already stitched.
