Here's numba 6. Finally got myself some upholstery thread, it came out good, as you can see a little smaller than a golfball. I filled it full, so I would say it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-45gs.

hey zeroman... it's good to see you are so persistent... it looks better than your first ones but there looks like there are still some things that need to get worked out... it's all part of the learning process... the picture is pretty blurry but it looks like some of the panels are misshaped, especially the yellow one in front... was that your blind stitch panel? how many stitches per panel are you doing? the key thing is to take your time and make sure to be consistent with where you place your stitches and how much gather there is... have you tried your hand on a 12 panel or something a little less complex? i'm sure that you could just keep practicing on 32's and become a pro but it might prolong your learning process...

either way KEEP STABBING!!! :twisted:

Looking at the bag most of the yellow panels are misshaped a little. Like I said in the post with the bag, it's my first with upholstery thread. Give me a couple of more bags, and I'll be use to using it. I don't think that was my blind stitch panel, but by far this is my best for the blind stitch that I can't even find it by looking for it! This one took all day to do, literally! So I do think I'm taking my time. For the other bags, I've tried an 8 and 14 panel. Both with an old shirt, I wasn't able to finish the 8, but I did the 14. It came out TINY! and looked like CRAP! I might try another 14 but right now I'm gonna stay with 32's.

I decided today to try to make a 2-panel footbag :). I think it's really cool for intermediate players. I have to stitch more 2-panels bags. Below you can see some photos.

Do you think 5 Euro is a good price for this bag? And how much should I want for my 32s?

i like them... i have made 32, 14, 12, and two different 4 panels... out of all of them i preffer the 14 panels... they are my bag of choice... the one i shred with all the time is well broken in and stalls/sets great BUT i had a slight vision/dream about a new type of filler the other night and i believe it will be the best mixture yet... so the gobstopper with this new filler should be a definite winner.

oh yea griffin/ gdawg has one of my minis and said it is breaking in and sets well but is still a little rolly... i think a little more break in time on it will make it choice... but with my new filler idea i think it will eliminate any rollyness at all :D

i am going to vegas for a month for work.... while i am there and not partying it up i will be stabbing new bags like a maniac... so be ready for a BUNCH of new gobstoppers up for sale with the new vision filler when i get back 8)

Im not sure that filler is the best choice Brian. Those rocks look like they could easily break up and shred your bags to pieces. Tom made some bags a long time ago, over a year now, with the same rocks and they tore his bags apart withing a few weeks.
