why are you selling all your current bags and buying new ones at the same time? especially the abshire mini you are selling...

My brand new Nate Pipenbag and Mosher14.

14 was made for the one and only Chris Dean of the RFA.

I call him Debts-B-Gone.

It is the best bag I have made ever.

The pipenbag is sick! He has really nice consistent stitching. The next bag I make is being sent to Master Pipenburger for his evaluation.

I love sharing bags with other up and coming stitchers!

Thanks Nate!

PLLSSSSS come to belgium and teach me

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 23 Mar 2005 04:35

awsome,, ive never seen the inside of a bag before. why r the panels so schrunched up?, seeing as how i cant stitch a bag if my life depended on it.

jon · Post by **jon** » 23 Mar 2005 08:08

the "schrunching" is called gathering and it keeps the panels from coming apart and the seams from opening

mosher do you stitch the tops and bottoms of your hexagons togeather?

Yes, I stitch my hexes together at their corners,

I am not thaaaaat sure what difference it makes to the bag to change your gather. Not to say it doesn't do anything, I just don't know which ways it effects it.

They next bag I am making will be the exact same as the one above but inverse colours and I am not going to gather, we'll see how it comes out.

Jesus

Tom you have a great talent (anywhere else telling a man he can sew well would be frowned on). Keep it up...I am trying to learn the way of the 32. You are my Icon.

The less you gather the more faster the bag will break in. Also the thread can snap more easily. And vice versa: If you gather more the bag will take more time to break in and it may be a bit stronger.

Also if you have very big filler and you put too tight your hexas the filler may stay in hexagon when you are playing instead of flying freely inside the bag.

These were some differences that I have found. Some proffessionals can probably tell some more.

dont bother making a bag if it is not gathered.
