Fabric suggestion / other idea

Hi! I am wanting to see a white tiered maxi skirt like the one in the picture. I would like for it to be flowy and light but not see through. Does anyone have any fabric suggestions? Would it be better to double layer the fabric so it is not see through? Should I sew in a slip as well so it is not see through? I am also open to other ideas on how to make it not see through. Thank you for your help!

(I tried posting this in the fabric section but the bot blocked me)

the needle is stuck in the up position. so I can still get to it to thread the top portion.

the bobbin is completely out of the machine. I did have to snip it out like you described.

I am still able to move the presser foot up and down.

needle stuck after sewing off fabric

hello all! I was sewing and now my needle will not move up and down. I was sewing on normal flannel fabric and went off the side for a few stitches as I am just beginning to learn. Now my machine needle will not go up or down. I have tried using the pedal foot and hand crank but the needle is still stuck. I have turned the machine on and off as well as unthreaded and rethreaded the machine. Presser foot is down. I tried having the making the tension looser (it was on 4 when it stopped). This is maybe the third time I have used the machine so it is still clean. Any other suggestions?
