On the subject of sewing and sunbrella in particular, how do you cut

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.
