I've been sewing footbags for a few months now, and I really enjoy it. It seems pretty quiet on this discussion page. I was checking out some of the old post and it seems like you've already answered all of my questions, but I'm going to ask again anyway. I got a few hacks from Jack in the Box and busted them open for the beads. My problem is that they are too light. I've tried bb's, but like you all said, it kicks a little funky. I'm wondering if I would be better off using all bb's, or trying some glass beads, or looking for heavier plastic. I also read that the beads with the hole in them (like for necklaces) are bad, is this correct? I don't want to use them? It kinda stinks to spend 8 or 10 hours sewing a 32 panel bag, just to end up with a nice looking (unstallable) bag. Facile is very hard to find, does anyone have any idea where to get some? Thanks Mike
