Hi, here's another link that may help, one of their projects uses drop cloths.

I would just drape the entire cloth over the couch and make sure all parts of the couch you want to protect from paint.
To help keep the cloths from pulling away and sliding off the couch when someone sits down and then gets up again, I would suggest that you use twist pins. These are frequently sold as pins to keep bed skirts on the mattress, and arm rest covers on furniture.
To remove the pins to readjust the covers, simply twist in reverse direction.
