I'm almost ready to start the snowboarding jacket, but now I am wondering what type of needle do I use for 'ripstop' and 'g-tex' fabric. This is waterproof, breathable, nylon fabric, which I will have to put in some 'seam stop' or something like that to waterproof the seams once sewn, but I am at a loss as to what type of needle to use. Any ideas??

Sandra Betzina says an 80/12 or 70/10 and you may have to change a few times. A Microtex sharp.
