Velcro(r) Brand Fasteners Sticky Back for Fabrics: No Sewing Needed - 24-inch X 3/4-inch Tape - Black

Product Information

Although the options and brands available are almost endless, the easiest way to ensure the adhesive is fit for purpose (especially if you’re using a self-adhesive tape) is to check the options available from Velcro itself. Fabrics that work best with Velcro have either a series of small loops on the surface or a pile the Velcro can “grab” onto. The only thing you really need to think about is the best way of applying the Velcroin the first instance. Tip : If you don’t have a file card to hand, you could use the same method with a pet brush or a toothbrush instead (although neither are quiteas effective). Once you’ve removed the Velcro strip from the fabric, apply a citrus adhesive remover to the peeled part.

Fabric glues won’t soak or stain your fabric and can be used on even the most delicate of fabrics like lace. The best adhesive for Velcro really depends on the type offabric you’re using and the type ofproject you’re creating. Before you make your purchase, check the pack and make sure the Velcro is intended for use on fabric: anything else will inevitably end in disappointment and several dollars’ worth of wasted money. As the glue transfers from the fabric to the cotton swap, change the swab for a clean one and continue to work your way to the center of the stain.Once the glue has heated to the optimal temperature, apply the glue directly to the Velcro in thin lines, leaving some space on either side of the Velcro to allow for the glue to spread without seeping onto the fabric.

My fingers are crossed, but in the meantime, will need more for another well-used garment, my RAF Overalls. Finding out the adhesive you’ve chosen isn’t strong enough to bond the Velcro to the material can be frustrating. Another factor is the type of yarn used (coarse or fine), these are key factors to consider when choosing the right fabric for your project. How successful you’ll be at removing the glue stain will depend both on the fabric itself and the type ofglue that was used.

Using glue on fabric can feel slightly alien, but provided you use fabric glue, it can actuallymake the job of adhering Velcro to fabric incrediblyquick and easy. The valence surround on our bed kept dropping off the edge so I came up with the idea of using Velcro strips for fabric with base strip stuck to the bed base and the Velcro strip stuck to the valence. To help the adhesive penetrate, use a putty knife to push the remover into the peeling edge of the strip. Getting to grips with the right gluing technique is simple (more on which coming up), and once you’ve got it down, you find gluing a fast, flexible solution.
