Becky, I have the same problem. If your fabric came out, it's due to the fact that in 1975 or so, the cord in the edge of the fabric was cotton and it has now rotted away. The cord is now polyethylene. I ordered the new poly cord, but it is too big to slide into the edge of the old fabric. I'm going to order some 1/8 and 5/32 tubing and see if I can make that work.
I'll start a thread on how I get the new cord into the fabric and how I put it back in the slat. It may require cutting slits every so often in the edge of the fabric and inserting shorter lengths of cord/tube.
Also, the PO had buggered up the last slat, the one the fabric slides into, so I will either remove the slat and make do with only 4 slats, or will find a a spare. All the slats are the same.
