what type of material can i embroider on and then sew it to my hat
its really a matter of personal taste, thermal paste is thermal paste, as long as some gets on there is all that really mattersi myself prefer to use Arctic Silver 5
Artic silver is what dell recommends and does do the job
You can embroider by hand directly on the hatYou may need to use a large-eye tapestry needle to accommodate the yarnIf you want to use an embroidery sewing machine to create a separate monogram or name, you might want to consider using non-woven interfacing for the base, then cut around the name with sharp embroidery scissorsOr you could use fabric stabilizer-just don't use the kind that disappears when wet unless the embroider can stand alone after the stabilizer is removedYou could also make a decorative name by using a piece of felt and then putting embellishments on itSomething to think about: You didn't mention the age of the person who will be wearing the hatIf that person is under 14, it's not a good idea to put his or her name on a hat for security reasonsIf the person is 12 or under, it's not a good idea even to put the name of a school or a team, also for security reasonsYou wouldn't want a dangerous stranger calling a child by his or her first name or even saying, Oh, you go to Central School! My son/daughter/brother/sister goes there! If it's for an adult, then carry on!
