I read somewhere that it's better than sewing if you're using DCF fabric. If you sew DCF fabric you make a permanent hole, as if you'd used a small drill bit. Water can get through the hole. DCF is not woven. There's no warp and weft. It's more like a big sheet of plastic. With conventional fabric, the hold made by the needle closes itself.
