Hello! I have a sling bag that I really like, but the strap doesn’t take it as close to my body as I would like. I have a sewing machine, but I have never used it for stitching seatbelt webbing. What sort of needle would I need to use, and which type of thread would be best suited for the material?
I’ve used a regular machine with a denim needle to sew a couple nylon webbing layers together. I don’t know how sturdy you need the thread to be but general utility thread should work for a basic bag, or you could get a spool of Gudermann(?) thread for a step up.
