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.
It should be fine, seat-belts aren't that thick. I'd use size 69 bonded nylon or polyester thread.
Okay :) what type of needle would you recommend? Someone else recommended a denim needle
