These fasteners are a fun and practical way to secure your fabrics without the hassle of traditional closures. They work great for all sorts of projects like pillow covers and costumes, giving kids and seniors a little more independence when dressing!

If you’re working with heavier fabrics while creating something like curtains, see VELCRO® Brand Sew On Strong Strips.

These loop and hook fastener patches have a wide range of uses, including:

– Use to hem pants.
– Add embellishments to apparel, decorative pillow covers or drapery ties.
– A closure for soft electronic cases or handbags.

The VELCRO® Brand material is durable enough for warm and cold water washes and is also dry-cleanable.

Start by stitching a straight stitch by hand or on a sewing machine along the hook and loop fabric. Then, run a backstitch over your original stitch for extra holding power.

When you sew on your hook and loop by the VELCRO® Brand, make sure you:

– Use a strong thread: Use a durable thread, such as polyester or nylon. These types can handle the friction and tension when sewing through tough fabrics.
– Choose the right needle: Use a heavy-duty needle, such as a denim or universal needle, in sizes 90/14 or 100/16. These needles can handle even extra-strong VELCRO® Brand pads.
– Adjust machine settings: Lower the thread tension slightly and use a longer stitch length to prevent the needle from piercing the same spot. 
– Use a walking foot: A walking foot helps move the fabric evenly through the sewing machine. This reduces friction and lowers the chance of the thread breaking.
– Sew slowly: Take your time to ensure the needle can penetrate the fastener without causing too much strain on the thread.
