Thanks Frank... What you said makes sense. I had read sharp on some sites though ballpoint seemed to be logical. As an aside.. .is there any trick you use to getting lettering straight across the back of a jacket? I must have spent 20 minutes hooping and unhooping, hooping & unhooping till it looked "eyballed" correct.

Some people may use sharp needles. When I sew nylon I use ball point so the nylon fibers don't get snagged or cut. Also you might want to use a Teflon coated needle, such as the Organ cool sew to reduce heat build up with the nylon.
