but u cant see the beginning.

first off you can use this pattern generator
http://patterns.phasing.org
to print off the pattern for a 32 panel bag
you cut out EDIT(am i retarded? i think so its 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons not 12 and 10 excuse me) and you stitch 1 hexagon to each side of the pentagon (five sided piece so five hexes) then you just continue adding pents and hexes
but dont stitch a hex to another hex
their is already a fantastic thread that has tons of pictures links and info from stitchers far more experienced then me
if you can understand some of the writing you can use this to help
http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en
just copy and paste the stuff you dont understand into the big text box and select the languge of your choice on the drop down and tada there you have it
from now on i would recomend posting in this thread

Chris Miller makes some very decent bags - that I can say with confidence. What I don't like about his method, though, is where he begins and where he ends. It's right at the bleedhole. Yeah, you can hide it and whatever when you're done gathering and knotting, but it just doesn't reflect a lot of cleanliness in hiding that particularly part of footbag stitching.

If you move your starting point just one hole away, where you stab your needle first through the hexagon and pentagon together, then it would be perfect. As you end it, all you have to is pass the needle and thread through the ending hole of the hexagons (which then creates the bleedhole stitch), and you'll then be good to go for finishing the knot.

Hope this helps.

what is the best pattern size for a 32 panel ???
http://patterns.phasing.org is for a 32 panel sck and is there any generator for a 14 , 12 , ... bag???
i want to make a triangel 32 bag but i dont find the triangel pattern.

HippieTom · Post by **HippieTom** » 15 Jun 2008 05:59

for a 12 you can use the same generator and just use the pentagon pattern and for a 14 you can just use the hex pattern and make your own square pattern haha
hope that helps

what should i do after filling ???

HippieTom · Post by **HippieTom** » 15 Jun 2008 10:27

pull the ends of the thread to tighten up the sttches and close off the bag then tie the ends together and thread both of the remaining thread parts through a needle and push it through the bag( in one bleedhole and out another) then pul tight and cut the ends so that when the bag sits normally they get pulled back inside the bag
hope that makes sense

You're in the last part of sewing up your footbag, right? Up to the last panel, am I correct?

Well:

1. After filling your bag, pull the thread to the point where the stitches don't show.
2. Gather evenly like your other panels. Make sure not to show/expose your stitches.
3. Tie/knot off where you began and ended. Both of the beginning and end should be at the same place.
4. Wiggle the needle through the footbag and out. Cut and push the threads inside the bag. If you didn't wiggle the needle through the bag, just push the threads inside the bag.
5. Done!

Hope this helps.

i dont get it how to make a 12 , 4(mr sand), or a 14.
when i stich a 32 there is 1 penta with 5 hexes and then again 1 penta 5 hexes.
but by a 12 panel there is 1 penta (midle) and 5 pentas (arround) but there is no penta (midle) between penta (around).
so i dont know how to stich this way where to start and where to end.
i need just a 4 12 and 14 panel tutorial.
i heard 32 panel is not good for beginners (kicking)
