I know exactly what you mean.. I was thinking along the same lines.
Basically, all I did was to rotate the cloth x*-90 and let it drop, then
once it had stopped moving, I rotated the cloth 'on the spot' back to x*0.
Not that this action could ever happen in reality, and I guess it's that
that gives it the stop-frame quality. As I said..I felt like I was just
fumbling around until I ended up with this anim.

Well, the fact is that it doesn't behave all that well with a lot of
shapes.. sharp edges of any kind can 'cut' through the cloth.. even hanging
the cloth on a small sphere causes the cloth to stretch too much and the
cloth cuts through the underside of the sphere.

I shall.
