That bag is alright mahhkohh, but it looks like your inconsistent on your stitches, like your stitches are all uneven, or maybe its the amount you gather your seams...I'm pretty sure. But this is all coming from a fairly new stitcher lol, but I'm going by experience.

but yea i agree with joe,about mahhkohh's bag.

duster: your footbag looks pretty cool . . . what kind of filler did you use? how does it play?

Duster your fabric is pretty nice, I need to get better fabric. All I have right now is about a yard of just brown suede and a few shirts and pants that I can cut up "they tear way too easily".

I've got the first part of the hidden stitch vid up and online, all it shows is how you sew from the outside. The second vid will include the final closing and knotting of the seam, which I'm having problems uploading to my .org account lol.

Here's the link to the first vid. MIND THE ASHY UGLY FING3RZ!!! I forgot to put on lotion....bleh.

ehhh that link dosnt do much,it says i have to be a ifpa member or something...

That's because it says "editset" in the link. You want to "view" the set.

You should become an IFPA member anyways.

hey joe...i dont think its the amount of gathering,i gather till it dont goes any further,that might be wrong,but i did it all the time,and i stich some time now,eventhoug my 32 dont look like it!

,and senior gommet said i need to gather more for mushroom panels,but what does he mean?i cant gather anymore!and the prob with my panels is done,i use my first 32 panels again,cause i realized that the bag may look odd first but it gets soooooo sweet in the end!(if anybody remembers my half blue/half yellow bag,posted here somewhere)its so nice now....

nevermind...i´m glad and thankfull for every hint someone gives me...but my prob isnt solved either way

...it might be this is the wrong forum but i will ask this now,since there is no sewing forum on modified:

so this is a pic of my panels,a hex and a pent ononeanother(sp?).i marked the place were i start stiching with a black dot,on this white lines i doublestich first,and at the end of every side,the yellow dots indicate were i make my stiches,6 of it to get those 3 notches(?),and thats how i make it throug all of the panels.i start and end on the black dot every time(red line is the seam

)
than i gather,befor i double stich on the end,with two panels attached it lokks like this from outside:

and like this from the inside:

that is how i do all my footbags,now,everybody who thinks he is good enough to teach somebody,tell me what i do wrong!...please(i wont eat u

)

and sorry to anyone who is pissed about me hijacking this thread for such a silly question,but i couldn´t get wisdom out of existing threads in any forum!

jon · Post by **jon** » 21 Jul 2005 12:06

not sure what effect it would have but you could try not double stitching the ends of the panels
