Somebody, seriously help this kid out. This other fellow is telling him to order an Abshire and empty it, then refill it to get it to a good weight/filler amount. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've never heard of anybody doing this to an abshire and I think this kid is about to listen to the other fellow. I would want someone to warn me if I was gonna ruin a $35 bag. I'd do it but I really don't know if he's right or not, I'm just going by what I read.

I'm pretty sure that what Waylon Lew is talking about is using the bleed holes to change the filler - this should be perfectly safe. I've never taken beads out like this but I put extras in all the time and it's safe - I've done it pretty much all my bags when they get holes in the fabric - it doesn't hurt them at all.

Yo JOshua, there is absolutly no problem in changing the filler of any bags... I would do it to an abshire if I had one, I did it for my Ilja and my Felix... There is absolutly no problem...
I don't like at all their filler...

Personnaly, I think they are not shreddable with out changing the filler...

If he doesn't like the filler, why don't you just order an empty shell ?

Save the stitcher the time and hassel of filling the thing and you get to save the wear and tear of emptying a brand new bag and refilling it.

If you buy it without filler maybe you won't be able anymore to judge the quality of the bag

But anyway: funny idea

En meme temps, the quality of the bag is not the filler, it is excusivly the stitching isn't it?

You can have a very bad stitched bag with so good filler (I won't give exemple..), and you can have sooo good bags stitched perfectly, but with shity filler (Felix-Ilja (in my opinion...))...
