HELP! Busted Stitch

Post by Troyson »

Today while I was shredding, my abshire decided to bust a stitch, lucky me :cry:

Anyways, is there any possible way that i can fix this??? The bag is still in great condition and has no holes yet after 10 months, and i would hate to have to retire it because of something stupid like this.

Here are some pictures of what exactly happened to my baby...

It looks like a knot has come undone and that is making the pent detach from the hexes.

the best way to fix it is to take that whole pentagon out, flip the bag around and then restitch it and finish it like a new 32.

Though to excecute that plan you need to be able to stitch.

well if its professionly sewn, then they tied off after each pent. that means if you take that one effected pent off, the rest of the bag is ok. once the one pent is off you would have to turn the bag inside out, and pretty much sew it back on. if you know somebody who sews footbags, give it to them. as for the sewing it would be hard to explain without a bunch of pictures. basicly, 6 holes on each side, and one through each hex

this is basiclly what to do
but who made the bag is important to, dont do anything until you get further opinion though. if you do re-sew it, try to follow the holes made by the stitcher
