Wow I just litterally watched the whole 2 hours before starting my own project. Great tutorial! Also massive lotr fan so I was like OMGomgomg!! when I saw the magnet closure and the flap 🤩🤩 Can't wait to see if I can pull it off too! ❤

[@knottedthreadsco]

Wow, thank you! Same here! LotR is my fav fandom, and pretty much all other LotR fans are my people! I bet you will do a great job! :)

Oh wow, that's a GORGOUS bag!

Thank you so much!

[@triplerainbow6269]

Beautiful bag and beautiful job. I love seeing bag makers create such sleek professional bags. One small suggestion. It would be nice to see a walkthrough of the bag and its pockets/zips/compartments at the beginning of the video.

[@Melissa-sews]

Beautiful bag. You have inspired me to make it with your amazing video. I was wondering where to purchase the cord ends. And did you use biggish strap sliders?

[@knottedthreadsco]

Thank you so much! You want to stick with narrow sliders as most webbing is going to be skinny enough to slide too much with wide ones. The cord ends can be found in many places. Look for zipper ends as that's what these were intended as but can also be used for this purpose ☺️

[@Six-Stitches]

So helpful! I may have watched it 2x’s already while I did all my planning, cutting, and prep work 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Mikachuu06]

The hand at the start is all I could focus on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@helganixon]

What type of pressure foot are you using for the top stitch on the top edge ?

[@knottedthreadsco]

On my industrial I'm using the standard foot it comes with. On my domestic I'm using a 1/4" piecing foot I believe it's called.

[@themelonpatchbydeb8411]

Where can I purchase the custom magnetic snaps? I have never seen these anywhere before.

[@knottedthreadsco]

These were from Thumbs & Thimbles, but that shop is temporarily closed. If you are on Facebook, there are businesses that run limited edition fandom based fabric and hardware for bags. I'd join the group "Sew Whatever" and do a couple searches in that group for links to various businesses.

Lindo demais parabéns pelo belo trabalho

[@vickistephens2934]

what brand of foam did you use for this bag?

[@pascalecanuel2915]

I have Janome HD9 (semi-industrial) but I'm little bit stressed with all layers at the back panel. Can we add the foam after adding straps and strap anchor?

[@knottedthreadsco]

You can certainly give that a try, but I have not personally done that to speak to the final results. I would suggest waiting to add those rivets until after you've fused the foam to further secure it.

[@sloppyjoe3617]

Thought I'd chime in. I also have an HD9 (as well as an industrial) and in my experience the machine struggles with thicknesses like that. I end up with skipped stitches and inconsistent stitches. I found thinner foam at my local sewing shop which definitely helps. I now use that for all my bag sewing. I believe you can get it on Amazon. Hope this helps! 🙂 Edited: using a larger needle also helps. Size 16-18.

[@barbarafrangella796]

Love the Pattern, the tutorial and the hardware. Will the out of stock hardware be replenished? Thank you

[@knottedthreadsco]

Thank you so much! If you're speaking about the magnet, it would be best to follow Thumbs & Thimbles for those updates as that is not my company - I'm just a supporter and customer :)
