PIXXO 3D shows how easy it is to pin cloth dynamics in Blender for better control.

This new tutorial from Pixxo 3D Juandre (Jay) Labuschagne shows how to manage and control cloth simulations in Blender using pinning methods. Juandre shows how to create a pin group and how to include vertices in that group to limit simulation interactions.

There is also a helpful bit on creating a Dummy Object and linking it to the Pinned areas so you can interactively drag the cloth around in the scene using a hook action.
