you have to sew the last of the hexes to the pent.
on your pent is one side(the 5th) left, here, you have to sew the hex, you drawed the red arrow.
sry, wanted to make you a picture, but I don't have a programm for that pn my computer!

I will but the small side of the hex does not match anywhere ;(((((((((((((

youve added a hexagon where it wasnt needed.

the petitpois hex needs to be removed, and then the pent will have the correct # of hexes to attatch too.

this is how a half finished bag will look... there are 15 hexes holding it together, and 6 pents.

I remember doing this on my first 32 as well. I had to undo my stitches SOO many times.

Good luck!

TNX...I undo my stitches at least 7 times already

But i need to stitch at least 3 bags for me and at least 15 for my friends...I don't know how to succed but i'll try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ben, I don't have a different color panel!!!

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 17 Nov 2007 12:08

sorry, maybe the lighting made it look that way.

warri0r_bg · Post by **warri0r_bg** » 17 Nov 2007 12:09

yeah it's like this....But why your opininion and Pengu's are different!!!?????

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 17 Nov 2007 12:12

my way will save you less stitches to undo. Pengs way will work but u'll have more stitches to undo.

After looking at the picture again, I found other things wrong with it.

You need to attach the edges of the pentagon (highlight in green) to the matching sides hexagons that are already attached to different pents (highlight in yellow).

He's got 6 hexagons on a pentagon Ben. I don't see how your way will even solve this connundrum.

Peng on the first picture u crossed one panel and than on the second u crossed another one...But the first crossed panel is one of the 5 hexs of the main pent???????????????????????????????????????Take another look...

May be u were misled by the low quality of the pic....!!!Now whats the problem?

Pengu · Post by **Pengu** » 17 Nov 2007 12:46

Then you just want to take off the one I've marked with an X and then attach the green sides of the pentagon to the yellow sides of the hexagon.

This is a picture of the very first bag that I tried to stitch:

It took me sooo much thinking to figure out how to do it properly.
It helps to think of it like this: You have one central pent, and five pents around it. There are five hexes directly around the centre pent, and from that point on they all share hexes, so you have to think in terms of the entire bag while stitching instead of ending up with a blanket like I almost did. It helps to look at a finished bag while trying to figure this out, even though it's still super confusing until you get the hang of it.

I will not make a new topic for this question thats why i write here...What's evener stitching ot make stitches even?2 people advised me to do that?

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 24 Nov 2007 10:50

make your stitches all the same size, leght and height. so have them all be uniform. Like this - - - - Rather than this __ _ - __.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. But I think you're asking, "How do you stitch evenly?"

Stitching more evenly means that instead of having, say, one stitch as, like, 3cm, or whatever, and the next 4cm, and the last 2.5cm, to stitch every stitch 3cm (completely made up lengths). If every stitch is the same length, it will show noticeably on the finished product.

And as for how to stitch evenly, it helps to create some sort of measuring aid, like, for instance, a ruled mini template or mini ruler, or something, to either use as a eyeballing reference or to mark dots (like "connect-the-dots" for your stitches). Once you've done this for a bit -- if you're having difficulties with consistency -- then you can kind of just keep in mind a mental image of your preferred stitch length, and if you find you're having troubles, just refer to your tool again.

I hope I helped
