I was planning to sew a sling made out of solarveil fabric.
it is kinda like a meshy type fabric--you can see thru it almost like a gauze but thicker.......... Anyway I was wondering what type of needle to use while sewing.
Thanks

I believe that you can use a fine universal needle (size 9) since the fabric is like gauze. Happy Stitching! Marty
