Processing and practical tips
Velcro tape is usually divided into soft and hard sides. For long-lasting sewing projects, it is advisable to fix Velcro in place with a few stitches all the way around or first iron it on and then sew it down close to the edge. Use a narrow straight stitch or zigzag stitch, depending on the material and thickness of the tape. Smaller projects can also be sewn on neatly by hand.
Self-adhesive Velcro fasteners are ideal for smooth, clean surfaces - clean the surface well and press on briefly before sticking. Note that the adhesive strength varies depending on the surface; the sewn-on version is often more durable for heavy-duty sewing work.
When cutting to size, always use suitable scissors and ensure the correct width for your project. The choice of colors and widths help to integrate the hook and loop tape inconspicuously or use it as a design element. If you are unsure which design is right for you, your Die Stoffschwester will be happy to help you with the selection and processing.
