Here's one I made last night..

I would have taken a picture but I have no camera..
It's the same design used for the mr. sandbag but filled with poly pellets and made with felt.

not bad...I think the gathering's off a littlle though but don't let that get you down. Besides, that's just how I see it. no one else overall, about a trillion times better than my first self-bag

props!

why do the gathers matter? they look fine to me.. maybe they look off because the bag got squished in the scanner or something.

sorry if I offended you. I just remember seeing Jeremy Mirken's old post on Mr.Robot's new footbags. He said, "Gather MORE!" and maybe it IS because you scanned it sorry again. Great bag though.....

You didn't offend me. I just want to know why they matter, you know? Like what do they affect?

I already know that if you don't gather at all the bag looks terrible and the pellets start falling out.

oh I think it's just for the pellet retention and stuff......and the fact that it keeps the bag together more? I don't know but all the other stitchers know....but now, looking at your bag and other bags, I realize the gathering's just right. But for my bags, I gather almost until it's tight as anything..........oh, it's for the roundndess of the footbag.

happy stithcing and happy shreds!

Thanks to pamela i got the idea to SCAN my bags in. This is really high quality, and compared to my camera..... Well its like comparing..... using a hollow piece of shit as a lever to move a boulder, and using a huge titanium rod to lever it.

all the colors are intact, and you can actually see the shape.

Top: Hermey, Footfighter

The FF on my footfighter faded after the first time i used it. Hania i really like the blue/orange bag are you selling those? If you are I would definitely buy a bag from you, if not... I'm jealous

(and I might have to come over there and steal it

)

Hey here is the latest bag I've made

<-- in my avatar.

I have a nice collection of bags these days. I have 25 bags overall - which includes 5 brand new 32 panels (4 that I have made and a really cool patris bag!) as well as a broken in Hermey bag - which is my favourite bag to play with at the moment.

I think my avatar pick is of the last panel - the blind stitch went well anyway. I pulled slightly tighter than the other panels - so if you look very carefully I think you can figure out which panel it is - but apart from that the bag is pretty flawless. No serious errors anyway. I think it's slightly too big - but Dan and Alex thought it was ok.

Oh and HenryG, David gave me the idea to scan. Hehe

david · Post by **david** » 13 Jan 2005 13:13

it works better if you hold the scan lid a little bit up, but dont blind yourself.
