I believe its basically woven plastic.
Anyone have some advise which type of needle to use?
In "Quilts and More", fall 2010, was an article on sewing tote bags out of pet food bags. That article called for a size 75/11 sewing machine needle, using clothespins or tape instead of straight pins. No mention of thread, but I'd use the UV resistant, Coats & Clark outdoor thread from WalMart. The Sailrite site has excellent tutorials, videos, etc. on sewing outdoor fabric, even sells the fabric.
