You can cut Sunbrella fabric using standard sewing scissors, a rotary cutter, or pinking shears. The edges may slightly fray, but this isn’t a problem if you plan to hem them. Alternatively, a hot knife can be used to cut Sunbrella, sealing the edge to prevent fraying and creating a clean finish. However, be cautious: cutting with a hot knife can produce sharp edges.
