well thats kinda easy… if its what they sit on, there is stuffing inside. Put something heavy on the ends and push it to the middle. you can also put it in a heavy drier (no heat) air only.You can have your kids throw it back and forth as a game so move the feathers.You just need to come up with ideas to move the feathers.Play kick ball with it.

If you are using a machine, then use bonded polyesterr, and a cutting needle. What size thread you use depends on the capability of the machine. I use Tex size 138 most of the time, with a 22 Gauge needle. This thread has a 23# breaking strength. Nylon is not recommended because it degrades in ultraviolet light.If you are going to hand sew, Osborne makes some very good curved needles

The best ball I ever had was the Adidas Azteca. The control you had of the swerve & curve was just beautiful. The same one Roberto Carlos used in his infamous freekick goal. “The cover of the Azteca has an outer polyurethane coating, and three layers below the cover ensure that the ball is waterproof and perfectly round”The ball which is going to be used in this WC (Jabulani) sounds promising going by a review I read. Fast & great for freekicks. Worst ball ever was that the one used in Japan/Sth Korea. One of the reasons that was a crappy WC.Have been watching some friendlies & not really liking the Jabulani – expect a lot of OG this WC – doesn’t look good for control.

Why are you asking such a silly stereotyped question.Just because someone likes leather or wears gear that may LOOK like sensationalised fetish items of clothing, doesn’t mean that they are into it.If you dressed like a stereotypical cop, would you be a cop?? Nope.Besides, if they were seriously into S&M do you think they would broadcast it loud and clear in a society obsessed with the idea that all sexual acts are dirty and wrong?

As a sewing machine tech I can tell you that with the right TNT (Thread, Needle, Tension) most any machine will do it on soft leather or canvas. The problem is most any machine will not do it for very long before they break.My favorite machines for sewing light leather are the old Singers. A model 15 or 201. Though there are many strong household machines. Motor amps are important. Any that say 1.0 amp or above on them is a strong motor. Most old machines have steel gears that will never break as the plastic or nylon gears after the 1960’s. Older machines are easy to find in thrift stores, yard sales, Craigslist etc.Basically, don’t even think about buying a new tabletop machine for these jobs. They don’t last.If you ever have any questions feel free emailing me. I also have a few for sale I would guarantee.Good luck.
