those are so cute I could kick them, just like a baby!

nice bags ben, how well do they break in?

Matt, don't kick the baby.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 09 Jan 2007 16:44

hey,

from my experience, they break in quite quickly and very evenly, the panels are big which helps, but the bag is still golfball size and very playable. i love shreding with them because the larger panels make for a very soft and easy landing on your foot. they also break in very round (no deformities). i'd say after 1-3 sessions depending on how hard you shred, they would be broken in. if your including hand messaging and kicking though it could be done very quickly.

They range from 55-60 grams (steel shot).

55 grams of steel is a lot of space.

They arent filled to the max at all in fact they are quite mushy.

...if that is what you were thinking.

You don't need to gather more. Gathering slightly more or slightly less will just make for a different style bag, that bag is somewhere in the middle of the range.

Very pretty too!

I agree with Tom, You don't need more gathers. I think its very nicely stitched and it is pretty.

Nice bag Shortis!! Dang.

Here is the last of the triplets. Willow, saffron and marmalade, 62 g with new filler. Lead shot and seed beads. I like the beads better than pellets.

mtelman · Post by **mtelman** » 11 Jan 2007 09:22

did you try the bigger pellets?? the Problem with the seed beads is they have a hole and they will break and cut the bag from the inside out. CR craft has 2 - 3 mm glass pellets you might want to try them.

I like the look very nice bag.
