You can use a paper towel to stabilize the netting for stitching. Put the towel down first, then the net, then the bias tape. Sew through all layers, then tear away the toweling. Wash the piece to remove the rest of the paper towel.

How do you sew a crinoline?
Oh dear! Are you sure you want to? To begin, I use a very short purchased half slip. It should cover your girl goodies without reaching the knees. Then purchase at least 6 yards of netting. For a simple crinoline, simply gather those six yards and then adjust the gathering to fit evenly around the hip line of the purchased half slip. Zigzag the netting in place, and bias tape those six yards at the correct length. If you don't bias tape, use lace or ribbon to finish off the net; otherwise it will rip and snag stockings. For a square dancing crinoline, the same principle applies, but you need 50 yards of net. There are patterns for this type of crinoline.

What is a bias mark in a fabric?
Fabric cut on the bias has more stretch than fabric cut on the straight of grain. For this reason, bias tape easily fits around corners and curves. To make yards and yards of continuous bias tape, lay out fabric and cut off one end at a 45-degree angle. Sew this cut piece to the other end. See Diagram #1. On the reverse side of the fabric, mark off the desired bias tape width parallel to the 45 degree edge. (Diagram #1 shows five strips but mark as many as your fabric will allow.) Place the two lengthwise edges right sides together and offset both ends the desired width of the finished tape. For example, for 1-1/4" tape, offset piece #1 and #5 (shown in Diagram #2) 1-1/4". Sew a 1/4 " seam along the length of the fabric creating a spiraled piece of fabric. Cut along the marked lines in the spiral starting at the line between #1 and #2 and continue to the end. To figure how much bias tape you will get out of a piece of fabric: (1) Measure your piece of fabric that you are going to be cutting your bias strips from. (2) Now multiply the measurement of the fabric by itself to get the squares inches of the area. (3) Then divide the squares inches by the desired width of the bias strip. For Example : Square = 12" So 12 x 12 = 144 square inches Bias Tape Width = 2" Therefore, 144 / 2 = 72 " of 2" wide bias strips from a 12" square
When attaching netting to a ghillie suit is it better to use the typical shoe goo or to sew it on with some sort of thread?
Spectacular question! I've used both, and have made six ghillies. My favorite technique is to use dental floss to sew the netting at key points (every six inches or so) and shoe goo where sewing is impractical (can't tell you where that may be- you'll know when you get there).
Can you sew this website?
No, you cannot sew this website. Sewing requires that you pass a needle and thread through a material. This website is on the internet, so there is no physical material to pass the needle through.
How do you put binding on latch hook rug?
Putting binding on a latch hook rug isn't too difficult. After you have finished hooking the rug, trim the unused netting back so that you have a width of two squares of blank canvas at the edge of your finished work. Then, you will take binding tape and fold it over those edges up to the edge of your fabric, using a separate piece on all four sides. You will use a sturdy thread, such as what you would use to sew on a button, in a color which will blend in to sew the binding tape to the rug using a whip stitch.
