Gonna call this one "scraps". Except white, the rest is scrap facile that was big enough to make a panel:)
You can get a Jerab bag by messaging me at the www.modified.in foot bag forum. I can do custom color and weight (allow up to a week) or I can send a photo of what I have available to chose from. Color choice availability may vary depending on my inventory.

i noticed in your slideshows, and in bags i've bought as well, that the hexes, at their smallest sides, aren't connected to conjoining hexes. why is that? would i be breaking some footbag law if i stitched those together? cuz my brinard lost quite a bit of filling from those orifices, and i imagine sandbags have a similar problem.

sorry for the double, and i was wrong about your slideshows. i went back and took a closer look and saw that they are connected, and mine probably was too, but that part opened up and i lost a lot of filling, don't suppose you know why?

Pent gather, pattern, as well as filler used will determine any issues. More gather around the pent will help pull the "bleed hole" tighter. The pattern used will determine the size of the short side on your hex that makes your bleed hole. Filler is obvious, if it is way smaller than the bleed hole, and your bleed hole is not tight due to gather, and your pattern has large short sides, you will lose filler. Also, the beginning and end stitch on your hex can help fix the problem if you make the stitch depth a bit more deeper (further from the edge of the panel). This will reduce the width of the bleed hole.

okay, i've been looking for decent patterns to print, and on the patterns page here doesn't give decent ones, i don't like the gifs anyway, and i can't figure out how to work out the other thingies. then i found the do-your-own size pattern maker on modified, but i wanna know the final size, as i don't know the measurements for individual panels. did you find some patterns @ joanns or something? i was looking to make something about golfball size or smaller, have any suggestions? i went so far as to lookd for a pair of calipers to do a soccerball-to-galfball ratio, but i can't seem to locate a pair. thanks again, and sorry for the runon.
p.s., i found the comprehensive thread on modified, super-helpful.
