no way, why do all bags have to have a precise gather? I think it looks dope. I would also be interested in shredding a bag like that. I find lower gather bags can also break in faster and thus you get more shred out of it.

Not to say I don't love medium and high gather bags either. Just that all ranges have there benefits!

i understand people like different kinds of bags... thats why i said it was just my opinion. ive tried to play with bags that were that low gather, and didnt like it at all... and playability to me is more importnat than appearance. but yes, i think it looks like amazing stitching... just not what i would pick.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

edit: I'm sewing three bags right now, working on each of them based on whim. I'll try to post them all by Tuesday and whatever.

I fell sick over the weekend, so I didn't get much stitching done. Just R&R. Here's what I managed to make, though:

It's a 4-stitch hybrid, Flash Red pents and amaretta hexes with a 12/8 pattern. Medium high gather, I think? I used an extra large template and it came out nice. Loosely filled at 55.5 grams while still keeping its shape through play. I'm really proud in how this bag came out, to be honest (floppy performance while maintaining a ball-like shape).

Here's a mini I made while arriving back from NYJ:

It didn't come out like I wanted. Tulip and Burgundy, 50 grams lead.

they both look hardcore, waylon!!!
does the facile mini perform as well as your amaretta ones?
is it stiff, or still loose and soft?

I just finished another 14 panel, and i'm working on a 32. I feel like this one kinda failed, but I learned a ton. i'll post the 32 soon.

p.s I ordered too much green by accident and i'm just using it up while i'm still learning.

my last bags... The first pic is from my last 3 bags in Colombia, now IÂ´m living in Spain and Stitching like a crazy. 2th pic is my last 3 bags unfilled enough ( my homework yesterday and today)

pd: sorry about light and bad quality in the last pic.

Nice bags everybody. Keep it up.

Wow Alejandro your bags look awesome!

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 28 Jan 2009 17:12

Tulip and Burgundy are both really thin facile colors, so yeah, I guess it plays just as well. I like to think that facile quality and colors, and other fabrics like microsuede and amaretta, each perform differently on their own on a footbag. Filler exploits a fabric's performance in certain ways. The sewing technique you apply on a footbag can be variable from what is seen on the other bags you make, but it really depends on the mood you have with the materials in front of you and how you work with them.

I can't really answer your question, Alf. The bags I make is what I see of them after they're created, and I don't have an opinion of my bags under certain sizes. I just know it's easier to make higher gather bags with amaretta and microsuede (and they make for instantly shreddable bags), and I know what fillers to use to make my bags perform well.
