Up until now I've been doing things like wadding up material or paper to stuff into the hat and using my mini heat press - which meant I was not able to completely get enough pressure or cover the entire design at once and I messed up a few hats when stuff moved.

The hat press and cushion makes this process so much easier.

*the one thing I thought was odd though, was that there is a not in the box with the cushion saying contains crushed walnut shells - this I thought was odd with all the nut allergies these days that anything like that would be used in these products.
