New DIYer here...

I am attempting a Fronkey bugnet and am having issues sewing the noseeum together.

My girlfriend is doing the sewing (new to sewing) and is having trouble. We tried putting tissue paper between the netting and it was spotty. We then tried painter's tape, and it worked, but the adhesive messed it up after 5 inches or so...

Anyone have any tips to get it to do right?
