Jim, try an electric knife with a serrated blade. The blade may not be long
enough to go all the way through in one pass & almost anything you try will
give a rough cut.
I doubt putting a circular saw blade on backwards would cut through canvas, but
it works well on materiel that melts.
To get a toothed blade to snag less, tightly wrap something around the roll so
it is closer to a solid piece & it wonâ??t snag as bad.

I have a friend who has 3 12" diameter rolls of coated canvas she needs to
cut into smaller lengths. They tried hand cutting with a toothed blade but the
teeth get caught in the canvas threads and tear it. I have a sawzall but I
don't know if the blade speed will be fast enough to overcome the pull of the
threads. Is there a non-toothed way to cut this? The rolls are 12 feet long now
and quite heavy, 2-3 people to lift, so a floor solution would be best.
thanks,
jim
