Tried it. It becomes hard, then brittle, then breaks.shredzilla wrote: I also thought of a new method last night after reading Waylon's post. Burning the nylon knot, and then pushing it, will form a hardened seal, similar to the method used with floss.

SHUT UP ALREADY!!!
Tom I really think you should consider what kind of a person posting like this makes you look to people who haven't met you. Also I don't understand why you have to make this a personal debate instead of a debate about which is better out of floss or thread. I can only guess that you actually do feel threatened by this topic? I would be very surprised if this had an postive or negative impact on the sale of floss or thread made footbags.Chris, each post you make in this thread just makes it clearer and clearer you don't really truely understand what you are talking about.
Haha, okay but YOU start the new topic this time, and I'll jump in.Kyle Hewitt wrote:Since we finally got done talking about thread lets talk about filler!
Just kidding.
Well, I had a long drawn out come-back response, but I just don't feel like doing that in this thread.mosher wrote:And the problem with how you viewed things from a scientific viewpoint was that you really don't understand what you are talking about, that much became clear as soon as you tried to get all sciency on us.
This has pricked at me for a few days now, and really does prove most of the outlandish comments and views you've been proposing in this topic Chris. Every experienced stitcher can tell you that needle placement is the most important thing when going around the pent and hex, and it's also a given that the amount of depth in which you stitch a bag also denotes how puffy a bag will seem. Gather does play a factor, but the depth in which you do your running stitch along the edge of the template has more of an influence. I feel that your poor insight on this simple fact needs some further thought.shredzilla wrote:Incorrect. It's gather, in conjunction with materials used.Pengu wrote:Hole placement has more to do with the up-and-over puffiness than thread. Any experienced stitcher can tell you that.
).How can you expect your first bag made of floss and nylon thread be an accuracte description of how bags made with these play?shredzilla wrote:Oh hey, I just thought of something. I want to do a test. I'm going to stitch 3 bags. One with floss, one with Cotton/Poly thread, and one with Nylon thread. I'll keep posting data about these bags, but I need to know what kind of floss you guys use. I know there's a ton of different kind, but just tell me which one to get and I'll use that.
Get 3 stitchers, one who uses floss, one who uses nylon, and who uses poly/cotton. Have them all stitch 3 bags, using the 3 different threads/floss, using their own technique for the thread/floss they usually use.Nathan wrote:How can you expect your first bag made of floss and nylon thread be an accuracte description of how bags made with these play?shredzilla wrote:Oh hey, I just thought of something.
