New Stitching Video

Post by garygargan »

Thanks for posting this! I learned quite a few things from watching that vid -- things such as the benefit of using a piece of plastic with the shapes cut out on the inside as opposed to using two, tiny pieces of plastic cut to each shape.

I'm excited to see some of the key points such as whether or not to glue/burn the knots, how to do the final blind stitch or stitch or the final hex on altogether, what to use for a gathering tool and how to properly gather, etc. etc. included in your more detailed series of videos (if you end up doing them, which I hope you do). I'm working on my first bag right now so I am a noob when it comes to a lot of this stuff. :)

Very clear video both visually and audibly. Thanks again for that!

P.S. -- Where did you order the stainless steel filler from? Do you find that it has a viable weight-to-size ration when compared to something like copper-coated lead shot?
