it's just like any footbags man. if you find instructions for 1, just repeat for this one. or try to imagine how it would look when stitched. i just use 1 thread and knot it when i do 1 side. but i keep the same thread.

simple? and for the amount of gather, i cant really tell because i did one that was super nice and had no gather and one that was horrible with no gather. (fell apart) so try things.

and felt... hmm. i never tried that. maybe get some better fabric?

Be sure to make your stitches consistent and firm.

You can always shrink the template however you wish, if you have photoshop. The template itself is always that big, I would assume.

ok, its probably because im using felt, and its stiff, its kinda a only test footbag though, thanks for all your help, ima gunna finish the rest, thanks! buy.

just do searches for tips on sewing bags... then figure the rest out yourself... TRIAL AND ERROR!!! it's part of the learning process..

oh yea by the way, if you used those templates i posted it should come out small... smaller than a golfball.... so you screwed something up if it is huge.

lol probably cuz i used felt, like the ones you posted, like i made it with the acual size that was on the screen, but when i printed put the template it came out small, which one do i use? thx!
