Sewing that size will be a bit of a struggle just moving material around but can be done, hopefully a fairly large room. The 800 yards should be enough depending how many darts you do for fitting and then hemming the perimeter.

Sailright specs#18 for the V 92 PTFE. They sell good quality threads, I have purchased mostly polyester and have been disappointed from some other sources. If you decide to use UV polyester thread use black colour, I believe dark colour to be slightly more resistant to UV damage.

Different machines use different types of needles, you will need to know what sewing machine it is, expect to break about 5 of them.
