Machine sewing assuit

I'm an experienced sewer, but have never worked with assuit before. Those of you who have sewn assuit on a machine, what kind of needle did you use??
I will most likely be ordering some SOFT assuit shawls for my own design. The assuit application is moderate..not too much, not too little.
I think a ball point needle would just bend the assuit itself. And then I think a regular needle may run the semi-sheer fabric around the assuit. Unless it were a thinner needle.
Assuit is too expensive to just whip it out and 'experiment' ... besides, I'll most likely need every scrap of it.
Any thoughts or opinions would be wonderful. Thank you.
