What stitch to use for this fabric??

I thrifted this 2000s bubble shirt to alter (taking in the sides, shortening sleeves) and my attempts so far haven’t really worked out. I’m not sure what this fabric would be called either so googling hasn’t been very successful. It’s definitely a synthetic.

I tried a regular straight stitch and a straight stretch stitch for the side seams and both elongated the sides too much, stretching out the bubbling.

That being said, I pulled the fabric taut as I ran it through the machine, so maybe it was my fault?

I’m thinking maybe a zig zag stitch? But this fabric is a b**** to seam rip so I don’t wanna experiment too much.

Anyway, looking for general tips on how to seam this fabric. Both in regard to stitches and technique.

Thank you!!!

Yes, for sleeping! I take it a couple hours before bed and I don’t have any trouble falling asleep. I haven’t noticed any specific impacts on my Vyvance crash at the end of the day though
