Left is an amaretta/facile hybrid bag, using the 4-stitch method. Grey/blue & dark brown amaretta hexes and Midnight facile pents. 53.2 grams steel/poly/glass bead mix.

Right is an ultrasuede light/soft hybrid bag. Black Noir facile hexes and Neon lime soft pents. This bag was made with the 2006 Mosher sewing style. It was supposed to be a mini, but it expanded into a standard golfball sized 32 after some break-in. 56.4 grams steel/tungsten/poly/glass bead mix.

I'm keeping the bag on the right because I'm experimenting how well Neon Lime performs, especially in 32s. The one on the left is reserved for an order.

bear bags :) i've been experimenting with gather and different size templates to hone my footbag making knowledge... and to even out my stitch... all about golf ball size/ black on silver is bigger and soo nice.
stanford footbag club is getting first dibs at these for 10 a bag :O if they dont jump on it, i'll be putting these up for trade/sell. once i get twenty under my belt i'll start feeling suited to charge more ;)

the shiny stuff is super nice, no fray, thin, super plyable, and actually a bit grippy, especially on the purple with silver pents bag... interesting...

what a cool bags at this page! the neon one looks great, waylon. I do love the idea to stitch bags with whiskers or something like that. Props, Matt! :)

Recently I came back to stitching and schooling my new method. The last bag I've made isn't very smooth but seems to be the most playable.

There is a prototype of my logo. The "qb" is abbreviation of qbag. In polish "q" sounds like "ku" so in name of my bags is also my name ;)

MC bags are the heaviest I've found so far. Waylon might compare, but I don't have one yet :cry: Every time I see an 'osh'bag my mouth waters! Shortis and Alf have beautiful fabrics. Keep up the good work everyone![/b]

Matt fills his bags heavier than mine. Probably around 20 more grams than what I have my bags weigh.
