I’m mostly dealing with light ripstop fabrics. So yea, it doesn’t apply great to more solid fabrics.
The table’s surface is tempered glass. Then I have a paper template on that. Then I hot cut the ripstop right on top of the paper template with a soldering iron. If I go quick enough, the paper doesn’t burn. The paper does degrade over multiple uses, but I’ve been able to use the same blueprint ~8 times before holes start showing up.
Smart, with the hot iron you immediately seal the cut and it can’t have threads falling out any more. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever do another batch of bivy bags
