The FAA Parachute Rigger's Guide is posted on-line (it's big, like 67 megabytes). It has recommendations for machines.

You can use a Singer 31-15 (type) for light to medium work, and you'll want to upgrade to a walking foot machine when you start heavier thicknesses and webbing.

You'll want to sew damn near all Cordura with number 69 nylon thread (military Ticket E).

Cordura comes in lighter weights (330 and 500) up to really heavy stuff (1000 denier).

Good luck.
