floss works great for me. poly pellets and steel bbs. and like everyone says, ultrasuede light. but i dont use it. i dont have money for that so i get a diffrent fabric that works great. i dont recomend it though.

Crushed Panne but you really can't make a good 32 out of if but you can make a damn good 6 - 14 with it

what can you make a good 32 out of besides ultrasuede?

i found a type of suede that does fucking great 32s but it's not thick so its instantly broken in. very cheap. i dont know the name, sorry. it's woven fabric so probly not good like everyone will say but i like it. feels like the sandmaster fabric.

but be careful, i also got another type of suede that looked just like ultrasuede light but was way too thick to play with.. it breaks in but takes too long.

so if you're just starting to stitch, then i would get something cheap and easy to get and if you start doing some more seriously, then maybe look for ultrasuedelight.

well if you want to practice, do a few 4 panel or 6 panel out of old tshirt material or something that you dont have to pay for. just to get your stitching strait and good. when you can get a few bags like that, then go get yourself some good fabric.

actually im OK with the t-shirts but i like shrinks when i cut it so it comes out small.

experiment with different types of shirts. Maybe you need to use one with a thicker material, not thin like an undershirt
