So I have a Quadrifoil with a few inch rip where the cloth ripped right on a seam. Being a Quadrifoil (24 sq ft, I think), it's old (you can all
guess just how old), so I don't think it's worth a professional repair. I've found some information on doing repairs, but I don't know where to get
supplies (little bits of ripstop, thread). Any suggestions?

I have some repair supplies here ...
Only thin not in stock at the moment is black repair tape.

Thanks. Is there any sticky tape that has a chance of holding, or do I really need to do a sewn repair?

Tear-Aid is pretty tenacious without getting gummy or softening up and "weeping" in the sun. It should have been listed in the link Angus posted, but
here's a direct link to it on CWS:

However, since you originally stated it was on a seam, I would question if there was enough material on both sides of the tear for that type of a
repair. Hard to tell without seeing the damage.
