recently i noticed in my abshire mini that there is a small hole where the small panels meet. Its not a hole in the actual material, just a hole where the two panels connect to eachother
the hole can be open and closed easily, and it seems big enough for some filler to fall out, but when i try and pinch the filler to that hole the hole closes
Ive only had it for 2 months and its not broken in yet. Idk why this happened because i treat this one soo good and have never done anything bad to it. Is this a normal problem or is it a problem that i should try to fix as quick as i can?
It's in the way the bag is stitched. It's natural, like an anus.
Don't worry too much about it. You can use a straw to put filler back in, in the future (if you need to).
Also, some people like to play with different fillings in their bags. You might find your bag too light - add shotgun shot or seed beads. Or you might find it too heavy - drain some filler.
Like an anus, it's a handy thing to have.

ik i said this before and i may juss be paranoid but there are alot more of the "anus'" things. I can do it to almost like every panel...is this bad, or is it just because my bag is alot more broken in than it was before??
yeah, it's cool. As you get better at using 32s, you're going to want to add/remove beads to suit your bag weight preference. They really are very functional to the bag. Oversized bleed holes could be a problem I guess. In that case, you may wanna start gettin your bags from me, cuz I stitch my bleed holes pretty tight so beads don't fall out
Before the last bag I stitched I always put 3 stitches attatching the hexs. The last one I made has "bleed holes"... I though the knots in those stitches were coming out and my bag was falling apart!! *whiew*. Thanks guys
The O'Wheel bag I have had ENORMOUS bleed holes that were literally too big for the filler within. I had to do about 6 blind stitches to the bag around the hexagons and change the filler into a larger size so that the bag won't leak its filler out.
However, that's not to badmouth Jeremy in making me a bad bag. I guess I'm to blame for asking him to make a larger bag to cause this mess to begin with. Anyway, its become a very choice bag that has no break-in time when I first got it, so that's pretty good.

Elmer's Stix All Glue. I have some for $5 plus shipping if you want. It's very soft and bendable and can go through the washing machine without getting discolored. It's also seethrough so it doesn't make the bag too ugly.
