I'd like to attach 1/4" vinyl tubing to a nylon mesh material that has
1/4" holes. My first attempt was to poke the vinyl through the mesh, but that takes a long time and causes the mesh to bunch up. My next idea is to hand tie the tubing to the mesh, but that would be time consuming too. I can make a jig to hold the tubing in it's spiral shape, about 4 feet of it, with holes to get a needle through to tie and knot with tiny cord. It may take 40 or more attachments to firmly attach the tubing. Just wondering if I can use a sewing machine to attach the tubing. The vinyl tubing will be carrying water, so it can't be punctured! So would a button attachment work? I could use a finer mesh if necessary, but it'll be strapped to a car seat and needs to be strong. Please reply to my private e-mail, snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com.
