Thats awesome dude! Good luck with it. My newer bags are a little bigger than golfball size and the older ones are bigger than that. I'm excited I inspired you to start stitching.
I GOT UPHOLSTERY THREAD!!! I've already started a bag with it and I gotta say it makes my stitching a lot better than it was when I used floss. It is a little harder to work with though, tying knots and and making the thread stay in the needle. Get ready for some sweet bags from me!
I just hit an awesome string! legover>legover>mirage>butterfly>clipper mirage>legover. Chris Miller recommended it to me. It felt so good to finally hit it. Now I wanna try it but substitute pickups for the legovers. Sounds like a challange.
I'm also making a paint ball bag. Flash Red and Mirage. Looking forward to see how it turns out
The bags are lookin good, man.. You need to bring some to the State Champs..
So you're in east Texas? Me too!
Where are you, exactly? How far are you from Houston? It would be really cool to meet you. Have you never kicked with other shredders? You should come to one of our meetings if you can.. We usually meet on Sundays around 2.
Awesome Mike, hopefully I can shred with you guys sometime.
New Teabag from me. I can't stop stitching. I love this bag along with my paintball. They are just the size I want and they play great. I have been experimenting with my stitch placement and gather and I like how they are turning out a lot.
I haven't played too much today cause of work but I'll probably play tonight and have to edit this post.
Edit! zomg I just hit this string; pickup>pickup>mirage>butterfly>clipper mirage>pickup. It's basically the same skeleton of my last string, I just substituted pickups for legovers.

I HIT DLO TODAY AND GOT IT ON FILM! It's my sick 1 entry for this quarter's comps.
I also got some Nike Free's for drumline but I play in them some. I think they are pretty good for footbag, but Lavers are obviously better. It's fun to play in them because they are so lightweight.
Friday 6:00 PM - Saturday 6:00 PM I was a my high school participating in our drumline's Drum-a-Thon. I didn't sleep a wink! I think I got 2 people interested in footbag though because thats all I did during our breaks. I'm gonna make them bags to see if they will start playing.
Sunday I worked pretty much all day then came home and did homework. I barely have any time to footbag this weekend. I'm like halfway through a bag though.
I entered this quarter's comps! I'm really excited for their release too.
