That punching is not woven cloth, if I remember correctly. It is felt, and a
set of arch punches can make 88 of them out scrap felt pretty quickly.
The dimension needs to allow the screw to , ideally, sit in mid thread
when the mortise is flush with the top of the jack.
Good luck, it ought to take no more than a couple of hours to cut, clean,
and glue the new ones in
