Here’s my first trial seam, done on the fabric swatch set (210d and 420d).  When pulling it apart, all the TPU came off on one side (yellow 210d).  I’m feeling pretty good about this, but thought I’d check in before tackling a Skeena.  How does it look?

Also, just curious if we know what the melting point of the fabric is, i.e., how much of a range in temperature could be used on the iron.  Is it polyesther (melting point 295°C) or nylon (melting point 256°C)?
