Cutting fabric, especially canvas, is probably easiest
with a non-toothed blade. Scissors, or rotary cutter are
common. Thing is, you'd need something to cut against.
I assume she doesn't want to unroll it?
In that case, I would use the finest blade you can get
for the Sawzall. Bosch makes a 9 inch 24tpi blade that
might be just fine. Cutting through a 12 inch diameter
roll would need some planning.
