Anthony,
I sew things like leotards with a regular sewing machine. I set the zigzag to 1mm and the stitch length to 2mm and it works fine. There is enough stretch from the zigzag. You do need to use a ball point needle and I find Gutermann 100% polyester thread works best. Here is a picture of one.

Anthony don't kill your fingers trying to sew that material by hand, use a zig-zag stitch on the sewing machine and be sure to take the leo on a test run around the house!
