[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 103664, member: 2310"] I would agree that there is some aesthetic similarity, however, hessian is (traditional) made of plant (jute/sisal/other) fibre, which I personally wouldn't trust to be dust-free over a long period of time. Original Maggie's cloth is very differently woven and I would assume the material to be much more stable than hessian. I eventually took them off my Maggies because they got so dirty that I had to wash them. Regretfully, after that they were completely ruined. If I were you, I would go far a modernised look - very thin, and to a small degree optically transparent, synthetic fabrics. Ian (JimGore) has quite a collection of samples that I have seen and almost all of them would look great covering the large ribbon membrane. Ask him about the source - he mentioned a fabric shop in his neighbourhood once. *ghostinthemachine beat me to it* :) [/QUOTE]
