I have made a total of one hat. I used and ugly colored coon for practice. My initial observations are, it looks like they fit 1 size too big. Also I will reduce the width of the side pieces 2 sizes because they seem to ride too low. I watched you deal with the near side of the pieces enlongating while sewing. I am going to try to pull both ends tight to take up slack while running through the machine to see if that is a better option. Don't get me wrong, this is my first look at this and by the time i get through the 40 some coons I trapped this spring I should become more proficient. I am doing my own tanning and getting top quality. I was going to print your un-official MC202 manual but it does not come up under the tab on your website.
Hi Don,
I’m glad to hear you’re making adjustments to make the pattern fit your preferences!
Here’s a link to the unofficial manual- if it’s still not showing up, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and change country to United States. If that doesn’t work, let me know. -Rebecca

I really appreciate the video having several very detailed explanations that help the novice I am… I’m glad this company is so encouraging of new people to the hobby.
Super happy with the instructions and patterns. Thanks Rebecca 😊
