On the subject of sewing and sunbrella in particular, how do you cut
the stuff and work with it without the edges unraveling?
I thought about trying a soldering iron to cut it.

You need a hot knife or similar device. A soldering iron might work, but
it would be a pain to work with. You need something with a blade.


You can get a hot knife attachment for gun type soldering irons. I
bought one last summer and it works reasonably well.
