i'm glad you bumped onto this page eskimo joe ... although it wasn't intentional, i felt bad when i knocked your beautiful new bag off the previous page after 30 seconds or so ... it seems we were posting our new bags at the same time :roll:.

i notice it's pretty much golf ball sized too :lol:.


i really wanna post my new bags (i've made more than a dozen newbies), but i'm waiting on my new filler that's arriving sometime in the next week along with my new stock of bags ... including my new 65 gram mini 62-panel bags :D.

within the week, you will bear wittness to my fruity fleecy footbag madness ... oh yes :twisted:.

Some tight gather...
I'm going to sound like a dick ( :roll: ), but less stitches doesn't mean less tension when you're using tight gather. I've done this method of stitching before, with tight gather and my method of stitching, and I didn't like the result of it. It didn't break in to the point that I can call it choice.

I'm sure what you mean by how your bags are 'so good' is due to the single threaded method you use to stitch your bags, along with the use of button thread. That alone makes a lot of bags that people make (80%)already great. And I can say that nylon upholstery or ribstitch cord, if used properly, can one-up button thread in this regard. But hey, I'm cranky and I feel like being a jerk-ass.

Toodles,

Who's the guy with the sick footbag fro?

The Cheat, the Cheat.

Here's a second pic. Sorry for the bad lighting.

Cameo and Petit Pois, 60 grams lead/seed bead. Loose gather, loosely filled. I used my biggest pent template for 32s with my smallest useable hex. It turned out pretty good, though I'm not exactly a fan of tight bleed holes. Or lead. But she's a keeper. :)

The newest Dorshbag. It's an experiment bag with new pattern (a little bit smaller than previous bags) and new filler (Planet Footbag!). It's mine! :D

There is some bad stitching because I still haven't really made the same bag twice yet. I figured out my trick on this bag, so hopefully the next ones will look the same but will be better. I still need heavy filler too, 'cause this one weighs like 25-30 grams >_____<

EDIT: The problem with ordering from the U.S.A. is that it will cost about a million dollars in shipping and taxes.

Thats an amazing bag for ur 8th Erik. And about the filler you needed i found this site on another thread and thought you may be able to use it.

I've got my technique down, I just need new pattern templates because the bag's a little small for my taste. It's still my best so far though:
