I've tried various combination of filters, but they tend to set different thresholds of where black and white should fall. This results in blank (leaving base texture) areas where cloth textures should be, and often leaves very noticeable artifact around the edges.
(wish I had screen capture on the Mac to show what I've done.)
Not being overly familair with all the filters and how they work, I've just been putting them in various ways and hoping for the best.

...Insert some witty or thought provoking comment here...
