My cover tore pretty good and it was 2 weeks to get a new one so I sewed mine up and patched the hole using the bag that it came with (same material). It's funny, I was joking with a lady at work that the cheezy plastic sewing machine that I bought to work on some stuff broke and she calls me on a Sat and found this machine for me for $25 so I said sure. I get it from her and it's this Singer machine from the 1950's. I kind of laughed at it...until I used it! Perfect machine for this kind of work, if you can find one for cheap, definitely pick it up. It's a Singer slant needle 404. All metal parts, no belts or anything and the thing is a tank! I researched it a little and I guess they are great for auto upholstery because they don't have any parts that break easily.
