Hi Blair, it sounds fine to me. If it is 1000D then you should be able to get a good weld without permanently altering the appearance of the fabric – just move a bit faster. It takes some practice to get the timing right.

Paradoxically, if you can’t get a good weld before the heat transfers through and changes the appearance of the fabric’s underside, you might need to increase the iron’s temperature a bit.

Cheers
