Array and Curve modifiers without changing object geometry

Question

I have designed a brim for a baseball cap. I want holes in it to sew through. At the end I will use a boolean for the brim to make the holes.

The holes need to have a radius of 0.06 cm and need to be round. Also I want to be able to change the distance between holes, but it needs to be consistent. I also want to easely change the path of where the holes are. So I decided to use the Array and Curve modifiers.

The problem is that the holes are beging deformed and are no longer round. Also the distance between them is wrong.

I tried doing it with Geometry nodes, but I couldn't get the distance between the nodes the same.

Does someone know how to do this?

With the 'parent to ...' method the distance still changes. I wish to use one curvature for multiple rows of holes.

No. I want to use one curvature for multiple arrays. When moving away from the curvature, the distance still changes. — JHNK, Aug 21 '23 at 12:43

I managed to do it by using both Modifiers and Geometry Nodes. It is still some manual work, but the distances between lines and holes are easy to change.
