I want to make some kifaru like pouches out of silnylon. I have zero sewing experience. I found the fabric on rip stop by the role. I've also read to use nylon thread. Does it matter what size needle I use? My wife has a sewing machine shes never used so shes no help with this. I appreciate any feedback.

Depends on the thread/silnylon thickness but assuming these are ul pouches a microtex needle is probably best

I am no help here! But I want to do the same thing. My suggestion is to look at backpacking forums. Some of the do it yourself stuff is on there. I need to do the same thing!
