Why are my hooks and sewing not holding my cloth in place?

Question

I’m trying to solve the problem detailed in

How can I make my cloth sim show tight folds?

but I’ve run into an issue where the hooks in my cloth are not holding it in place when my monkey head presses against it.

Ideally, it should be working similarly to this:

…but instead, I’m getting this behaviour… 0001-0080.mkv (13.4 KB) …where the cloth is torn from the pinned points and blows away from the pressing object.

Can anybody explain why the cloth is not pinning correctly? Absolutely baffled here.

Demonstration of Vertex Group:

Pretty sure there is... Hmm. I'll add an image to the initial post to demonstrate that I have a Vertex Group set up... — Reverend Speed, Jul 08 '19 at 09:42
Please use blend-exchange if you want to provide files for us to check. Random file sharing services won't keep them up long enough. — metaphor_set, Jul 08 '19 at 13:54
@metaphor_set - Pasteall.org isn't considered good enough? It's by http://www.graphicall.org/ and the files would last 5 months. I'll definitely consider Blend Exchange in future, thank you. — Reverend Speed, Jul 08 '19 at 14:38
@ReverendSpeed - "files would last 5 months." is way too short, considering that Blender Stack Exchange is a Q&A site where questions/answers are still useful in a couple of years. — metaphor_set, Jul 08 '19 at 15:26

While I had created Vertex Groups, I had failed to assign specific vertices to the groups.
