Thanks, I'm going to go and ask the lady at the store also. I hope to have the hat by then so she can see it, and advise me also in which direction to go. I did see somewhere not to stretch the hat because the embriodery will pucker. It's a side job for me one of many it seems, which might be a good back up for me if needed.
Thanks everyone and I'll post next week how they came out.
