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?
Snapped needles are the most likely thing that could happen.
Sometimes people assist the motor by turning the hand wheel, and I’ve heard that can bend the frame of the sewing machine in some cases. That’d be the most catastrophic failure potential I think
