Yes, I also think it is too elastic, and that's why I gave it that plastic
texture, so it does not look like a cloth.

That's right. The threads are very inelastic. But the equations describing
that must be very complicated. You can simplify your model if you ignore the
"tightening" of the threads and compensate with a bit of more elasticity to
the cloth.

I'm now trying to reach an alternative way to solve this, but I still have
to work many hours :)

Thanks for your comments,

Sbogom!
