check your fabrics if one has any poly content it will shrink
with each pressing eventually causing all kinds of trouble.
Is your thread 100% cotton?
If sewing by machine are you lifting the fabric as you join them
[To make the curves in hats the fabric is lifted up as fed into the foot]

I have watched tutorials on DP and they don't mention this problem..thanks for any info you have.
