self-adhesive
Self-adhesive stands for hook and loop tapes that have an adhesive backing with a release liner and can be attached without sewing. They are a practical addition to the sewing kit for hobby sewers and crafters: quick to attach, neatly finished and ideal for attachments, fasteners or temporary fixings.
What is self-adhesive Velcro suitable for?
- Fasteners on bags, pouches and home textiles
- Fastening cushion covers, tablecloths or curtains
- Temporary fastenings for sewing projects and pattern making
- Creative handicrafts, decorations and DIY workpieces
Self-adhesive hook and loop tapes are particularly practical when you need a quick solution without a sewing machine. The adhesive layer adheres reliably to smooth, clean surfaces such as plastic, wood or coated fabrics. Adhesion may be limited on heavily textured or very soft textiles - in this case, we recommend fixing the tape with a few stitches or using special textile adhesive.
Processing tips from your Stoffschwester
- Clean and dry the surface well, avoid dust and grease.
- Do not remove the protective film until you have positioned the tape exactly.
- Press firmly and, if possible, rub briefly with hand pressure or a roller so that the adhesive layer adheres well.
- For textiles or frequently washed parts, additionally sew on or secure with textile adhesive.
- Use sharp scissors or a cutter knife for cutting, making sure the edge is straight.
You can find self-adhesive Velcro tapes in various widths and colors at Die Stoffschwester - so you can choose the right version for your project. Try out different designs with us and combine them with sewing supplies, needle and thread or textile adhesive for a permanently secure solution.
