need help pinning vertices

I want to pin vertices from my cloth mesh to collide mesh, run the cloth simulation, and retrain the original lengths of vertices on the cloth mesh before the pinning. I can't get it to work D= anyone wanna help me?

    I really want to move forward from naked guy to fulling cloth guy =0

    Assign the verts that you want to add to your pin vertex group and then go to the cloth simulation in the physics tab, and check the box called pinning. Now select teh pin vertex group from the dropdown menu below it and when you run the cloth sim , the verts in the pin group will stay where they are. 


    Not sure if that is what you are looking for , if not then could you try to be more clear. 

    Hope this helps :)

    MMatthew Fricker JJonathan Williamson Thanks guys I tried both already, I really not sure how to explain what I am trying to do LOL that is why I included pictures, let me try to explain in details better.

    so this is the original before pinned

    after it has been pinned by stretching the vertices around the neck like so

    after running the simulation the stretching the vertices to the neck it retrain that length

    this is a highlighted example

    but this is what I really have in mind or result after simulation

    hope this better explain what I was trying to do =0

    No worries :) . The result you are looking for may be easier achieved with modelling and/or sculpting instead of a cloth sim if Jonathans solution still does not fix the issue.

    okay I know where my problem is at

    When I assign key 1 value to 0 at frame 1 and then go to frame 15 to set the value to 1, it doesn't seem like I was able to save that key frame value, because when I click out and back on to frame 15 they value is back at 0 again. 

    there must be something that I am missing or not doing correctly, I am sorry for all this questions, it is probably really hard to know what noobs like me are actually doing wrong.

    alrighty! I think I was able to change target my problem! so what is happening is in the shape key I did setup basis and Key 1 like in the character tutorial but there is some differences, when I slide value of the Key 1 from 1 back down to 0, it does not change back to how it looks in the basis.

    Will keep trying, I know maybe I can go around it but I just really want to know how to do this.
