Btw, very few fabrics shrink with the application of heat, unshrunk polyester and mylar are the only two that I can think of, all the rest either have no reaction (other than getting hot) or stretch when heated (the fabric yields to stretching when heated).

Heat shrinking isn't by a long shot a universal way of making a fabric cover tight with all materials.
