How's your filler? You can PM me about it if you want to discuss it privately.

I think you're on a great start in selling bags, Andrew.

Im no expert, but they look great! (plus I want that brown one!)

They look sweet. Maybe you should trade with some stitchers who do sell, and ask them if you are unsure.
The green and yellow ones are awesome.

Your bags look great, but the fact that you have to ask this makes me question whether you should be selling. As far as I can tell from your posts, all you do is stitch bags. I don't know about what level of footbag you are at, but you should know from your own experience playing with the bags if they are good enough to sell yet.

EXACTLY!

Don't rely on people who haven't played with them.

Rely on yourself, and people you have traded with.

They sure do look great, but your filler might be cotton balls for all we know.

looks mean nothing.

the above posts make sence.

send out some test bags or something.

buy good bags and see if yours are as good.

pratice footbag first, stitching second.

stitches look a little uneven on some pents, i'd say work on making straight, even stitches for another bag then start selling

=O How can you tell? (I really want to know so I can judge bags better)

Pete · Post by **Pete** » 18 Jan 2007 19:09

your bags is very nice and clean!
how much does is cost one bag?
I think, that your a bags are little small. Vasek Klouda say me (3days ago), that my bags are small( I make size 4.2-4.5cm *diameter). You try make a little bit more bigger

I alredy enjoy to your AndrewBag.

The most important thing said in this whole thread is in bold

david · Post by **david** » 19 Jan 2007 11:09

it would have more impact if it wasn't spelled wrong.

Truth be told David, but I guess it's not as easy for a person living in Nunavut than it is for you! I've met Andrew when I first started shredding and he's a nice guy. He has good clipper and Butterfly but some difficulty with the dexs. I bet he have improved since I've met him because he told me he learned mirage since than. I was a complete beginner when I first met him ( it was my first shred with lavers ). He likes stitching bags because at least it made him do something related to footbags, but as he told me, next summer he's going to shred a lot more. And he's supposed to come back in montreal and we'll have a shred. That's why he can't really know if it's a good bag, because he have some skills but don't have the experience to know if it's really a good bag.

david · Post by **david** » 19 Jan 2007 21:31

That's why I suggested he mail it somewhere if he doesn't have the experience himself to know.

shortis · Post by **shortis** » 22 Jan 2007 10:02

yes!I recommend for all footbagers. I have one your bag, it's very nice and good weight, size...
GREAT WORK!

Thank you all for your comments and input. I appreciate it. However, one thing concerns me:

After reviewing many of the blogs and history of some of the stitchers who post here, they themselves do not play much or at all or are at a level of footbag below my level. Yet, these bags are much sought after. I don't get it. I have used everyone of my bags and they kick serious ass. I did not have sessions with them, just tried a few moves and watched the bag as it was in the air how it felt as it landed, etc.... Also I have kept a few of my own bags to watch the breaking on process and am very happy witht he outcomes.

Just some thought that I needed to put out there.

They aren't sought after by me.

I tend not to get any bags from people who aren't experienced players.

david · Post by **david** » 19 Feb 2007 09:15

What do you mean, highly sought after? Example?

I stitch bags, and then I go win tournaments with them. I think I have the experience to make a great bag that plays how an advanced player (like me) wants it to.

Most stitchers on here aren't very high level players. I have a few bags from these people and they really aren't that great. I guess there is a correlation between level of play and level of stitching. Look at Felix and Ilja.

Do what you want, if your bags suck you won't sell a lot. If they are good, great.
