hey Godlik3, go and read through this thread:

you'll at least learn how to stitch a good bag.

If you don't want to buy fabric on-line, then it's best to post what town you live in so that maybe someone can help you find a shop that sells fabric.

I've played with 12 panel bags made out of cotton fabric.
I'm not sure you can call then "good" bags.. but they're still playable for a while..

do you have a 12 or 14 panel tut

A 14-panel is like a simpler version of a 32. Instead of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons for a 32, a 14 uses 6 squares and 8 hexagons.

If you watch a 32-panel video tutorial, a 14 isn't so different. Just make sure to get your dimensions on your template larger than usual.

how large should the dimension be ???

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 13 Jun 2008 17:28

Umm... Experiment? For 14-panels, around 1 inch should do fine.

are you from germany? if yes, were did you get the alcantara from?
you nearly can't find anything, in shops, you normaly have to buy it via internet!!!

for fabric, the best way is to buy ultra suede light from www.fieldsfabrics.com
for filler, just look at that page: http://www.neuhaeusers.de//shop/index.p ... 390efd8425 (ist aber seeeeeeeehr feines Granulat)
and you can look at www.eBay.de

much fun for your first stitching try!!!

Alf · Post by **Alf** » 14 Jun 2008 07:31

the only thing I didn't bought via internet was some cool rustless steel beads. I bought that from a women in Mainz!!
I don't know, were burghausen is, but if it's not too far away, I can send you the adress!

okey, I think 497km are a tiny, tiny bit too far away for buying some steel shot!!!

have anyone tryed aqarium kies , softair munition or litle stones ???

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 16 Jun 2008 07:07

Aquarium rocks break up and can damage the bag from the inside out.

Soft Air ammo is to big and light.

Little stones could do the same as the aquarium rocks.
