@losthawks102 You can experiment with any non-woven fabric. A woven fabric will fray and drop a stitch. Ultra Suede Light and Amaretta are the preferred fabric though they can be hard to find locally.
@XxlittlememsxX This is a very good question, I would suggest you buy a good bag first. Then if you want to follow the path the ultimate foot bag enlightenment then you need to stitch your own bag.
@badgerhockey99 - Yes I do. I'm currently taking a hiatus to move house. Inbox me if you want more details or look me up on modified.com where you will find myself and other Stitchers offering custom bags.
@MrHuntert27 from Pellets LLC in NY. They were pretty cheap, though shipping was almost as expensive as the pellets. The pellets are stainless steel conditioned cut wire shot. Sorry about taking a few days to reply
@MrTrickshots1 - I use UltraSuede Light, the best source for this is Fields Fabrics online. You can buy as little as 1/8 of a yard which is good because USL is expensive, plus you can make a lot of bags with one strip of fabric. You can sew with other fabrics, but USL is one of the best. Good Luck.

@License2chill15 - I print out pattern on ordinary paper. I then glue or tape the panels to some thin clear plastic. I then use and Xacto art knife to cut out the panels. There are easier ways to make stencils; for instance, you could glue the paper to card and simply cut the card with good scissors. Then instead of tracing inside the clear plastic, you trace around the outside of the cardboard pentagons and hexagons. HTH. GG.

@andrewbentley83 Nope. I have filled them with sand but they always leak a little bit. However if sand is what you have then you can always refill the bag through the bleed holes every couple of weeks.
The link to the site is no longer working, sorry. Not sure where to get the stencils otherwise. Most folk cut a pentagon and hexagon and trace around the outside, I use flexible cutting board plastic and cut out the hexagons and pentgons. Then it is quick to outline the panels. Any thick clear plastic should work. Good Luck.
Ultrasuede light is the best material, you can get it from online from fields fabrics. For your first few bags you can use any thin non-woven fabric from your local fabric store. (non-woven fabrics won't fray)
@HolyNinja1228 from Pellets LLC in NY. They were pretty cheap, though shipping was almost as expensive as the pellets. The pellets are stainless steel conditioned cut wire shot. Sorry about taking a few days to reply
@GaryGargan Thanks, and no problem about the response time. I have another question though, is that jar of pellets you ordered the smallest amount of pellets you could get? because that seems like quite a lot. Also, if you remember what specific diameter they are, that would be a great help as well!
@HolyNinja1228 I ordered 10 lbs, I think the diameter is roughly 2-3mm.I think you could order less, but shipping would still cost you. If you want say 1 lb or less you could send me a message and I can cut you a deal. GG
@GaryGargan Thanks man, I felt bad for asking you so many questions haha. But you gave me all the info i need, I think ill just order the 10 lbs from the website. Thanks again!
Excellent tutorial. Roughly how long does it take you to make a 32 panel bag from start to finish?
IconOfGrace 1 week ago
@IconOfGrace - about two hours start to finish, for a good bag. Quicker if it's a two stitch bag and I'm in a rush...
GaryGargan 1 week ago
@GaryGargan - I've made a total of 3 bags, and only one 32 panel. It took me probably 10 hours. I'm terribly slow.
What size bag does this template make? Compared to a golf ball, for instance.
IconOfGrace 1 week ago
@IconOfGrace Usually about the size of a golfball... but i stitch pretty close to the edges, you might get something slightly smaller...
