   Probably its wiping against the grain. I've had tack cloths do the same thing.

   I would mention a dry cloth is not going to remove sanding dust any better than a brush.

   Sanding dust is easily removed many ways: vacuum, brush, compressed air, wiping with denatured alcohol, mineral spirits.

   Personally, I prefer to to use a dust extractor type vacuum. Sanding is one of the most hazardous tasks in a ww'ing shop. IMO if you do a lot of sanding, it is imperative to invest in a quality dust extractor/w HEPA filter, as well as a sander that has excellent dust extraction. A shop vac can get the job done, but performance and noise is a factor for me.

   Microfiber will probably catch on things your hands won't even feel. Vac or blow off the dust and move to 220. I would not use a cloth like that at least until the surface has been sanded after a coat of sealer, and even then I agree with REJR that there is not a benefit to using a dry cloth.

   To elaborate on what MJ said, I assume he did not mean to jump directly from 120 to 220 grit. I recommend that you go from 120 to 150 then 180 and then to 220. Then you should be ready to start applying your finish material.
