If it keeps breaking when you pull it through or it's = too easy to pull, these are your indicators. Trim the cloth to a long = point and I use my needle nose pliers to grab the cloth the roll them = against the flange to pull very evenly.

A SMALL dab of glue and = pull the cloth on in cut it off long and jam a #20 pin in and let = dry.  Use a tack like the ones used to hang the damp chaser rod, it's = .050" or a #20 and the sharp tip makes it easy to slide in.
