It was rather easier than I expected. I had ordered a 4 panel kit from FootMart, and during my lunch break, sewed it together. I love it! But now I have a question. I had recently acquired a "Dirtbag". I love it. I was wanting to know if you could use sand instead of beads with any sewing project, or is there a special technique or fabric that is required. Thanks!

A friend, Andrew Bosher turned me on about two years ago and I've been fooling around with it with great results. The strength and general suppleness, the durability and water resistence all make it worth your time for four panel and perhaps eight panel bags. I wouldn't want to sew a multi with it however... I wouldn't claim it's the end-all in footbag making fabric, but certainly worth a few hundred bags. Everyone I've polled loves them. Lemme know what you think. You can find it in fabric stores and it comes in great colors and psycho designs. It's pricey but you dont need much. I always seem to score scraps. Theres a factory in Lawrence Mass, Malden Mills that sells or gives away the ends.

Some time ago I asked where to get facile and nobody answered! So WHERE DO YOU GUYS GET YOUR FACILE FROM???????? Please, just tell me where to order it online or to buy in a shop in the NYC-area, should be possible for you... And now, to give something to talk about (if there should be anyone willing to do this) I will tell you about my latest handmade footbag: It is a night glowing bag, getting its light from a glowstick (diameter: 4,5mm, length: 39mm). The 12 panels are made from mosquito netting, so you can see the full light of the glow stick and the bag is still shredable after you got used to it (I sealed a blur with it) - one comment I heard about it at the European Masters was: "It beats the battery!" Of course, Yves Archambault defended his battery-powered-diode (24x26x10mm at the biggest point), but I think, although I did not tell Yves instantly, the battery thing is way to big to get into and out of the bag. I do not exactly know, if it is much brighter. Anyone intersted in this bag I can send some pictures and then let us have the battery vs. glowstick discussion! What material for the panels is normally used when there is a diode in the bag or are there no panels like in the case of "Glomaster"? Is the battery version maybe cheaper (one glowstick costs here in Germany about 50 cents)? Which bag is brighter? And which of both is better to shred with? _____________________________________ "Der reißende Fluss wird gewalttätig genannt, aber das Ufer, das ihn einengt, nennt keiner gewalttätig." _____________________________________ http://www.parlament-berlin.de/wgr From owner-sewing@list.footbag.org Sat Jul 22 06:27:54 2000 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id GAA31124 for sewing-outgoing; Sat, 22 Jul 2000 06:27:54 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-sewing@footbag.org using -f Message-Id: <200007220553.BAA04948@valinet.com> Reply-To: From: "Daniel Botkin" To: Subject: Re: [sewing] Wake up list!

Yeah people, do like Matthias said! Some time ago I asked where to > get facile and nobody answered! > So WHERE DO YOU GUYS GET YOUR FACILE FROM???????? > Please, just tell me where to order it online or to buy in a shop in the > NYC-area, should be possible for you... I'm out, have no current contact (other than the $50 a yard kind in the local Greenfield, Massachusetts fabric store) and to tell you the truth, am not really missing it much. Over the years I found facile (sometimes called ultra suede lite) not to be durable enough and prone to occasional panel failure. Who wants to sew multi panel bags and have a panel blow out?! Also I'm not a shredder and am not sewing shred bags and so am willing to sacrifice incredible suppleness for greater durability. As far as glow vs diode, I have no comment at this time =-) Daniel Dog Footbag Peace Initiative http://www.valinet.com/~dbotkin From owner-sewing@list.footbag.org Sun Jul 23 06:00:38 2000 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by list.footbag.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) id GAA01973 for sewing-outgoing; Sun, 23 Jul 2000 06:00:38 -0700 X-Authentication-Warning: list.footbag.org: majordom set sender to owner-sewing@footbag.org using -f Message-ID: <397A20B6.2F29@intouch.bc.ca> Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2000 22:31:20 +0000 From: J & J X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01 (Macintosh; I; 68K) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: sewing@footbag.org, Matthias Lino Schmidt Subject: Re: [sewing] Wake up list!

Battery powered glow bags I find are less expensive, however I still strongly prefer the glowstick ones. Mainly because, with all the battery ones I've kicked with so far, the battery dies temporarily when kicked hard in the wrong spot. Thus the circle breaks up to hunt for the the thing in the dark. Annoying. I have one old Proton glowstick bag, and I wish that "they" would start making these again.
