The manufacturer sent me a yard of the fabric and I had an awning repair company sew a patch. Have not been back to the laundramat since.

I've been thinking about this post since I read it yesterday - if you set the machine right and it ruined your cover, why didn't you walk up to the owner and demand a replacement?
