I've got some Karrimor waterproof panniers like these:

They are made from pieces of woven material coated on one side with
plastic (PVC, perhaps).
I recently noticed that one of the panniers is coming apart at a seam.
These seams are welded in some way, so I tried 'welding' the seam back
together using a steam iron. This didn't work. Does anyone have any
advice for repairing this? What sort of temperature is required? Can
this be done without an expensive ultrasonic welding machine? Should I
use some sort of glue instead?
