FAQs
Do I need a special needle to sew this on?
For most fabrics, a standard sewing machine needle should suffice. However, if you are sewing through very thick fabric or multiple layers, a heavy-duty or denim needle is recommended.
Can this velcro be used outdoors?
Yes, this sew-on velcro is strong and hard-wearing, making it suitable for many outdoor applications like securing covers or tarps, provided it is properly sewn onto weather-resistant materials.
How many times can I open and close it?
This hook and loop tape is designed for hundreds of uses, offering excellent durability and longevity under normal usage conditions.
Is this the adhesive type of velcro?
No, this is a sew-on type of hook and loop tape. It requires stitching to attach it to surfaces.
What is the width of the tape?
The tape is 20mm wide.
How long is the total length provided?
This value pack provides a total length of 1.25 meters.
Troubleshooting
Velcro not sticking firmly after sewing
Ensure stitching is secure and has gone around the entire perimeter of the tape. Use a stronger thread or double stitch for added reinforcement. Check that the fabric is suitable for sewing.
Hook and loop surfaces are clogged with lint
Gently use a stiff brush or a toothpick to carefully remove any trapped fibers from both the hook and loop sides to restore full gripping power.
Tape is difficult to sew through
Use a heavy-duty sewing machine needle appropriate for the fabric and tape thickness. Slow down the sewing speed and ensure the fabric is held taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use this hook and loop tape, cut the desired length from the roll. Position the hook side and loop side onto the two pieces of fabric you wish to join. Using a sewing machine or hand-stitching, securely sew around the edges of each piece of tape, reinforcing the stitches for added durability. Ensure the thread color matches your fabric or the tape for a neat finish.
Compatibility: This sew-on velcro is best suited for use with fabrics, including canvas, denim, cotton, felt, and upholstery fabrics. It can also be attached to leather or other flexible materials that can be sewn. It is not designed for smooth, hard surfaces where adhesive options would be more appropriate.
Care: The hook and loop tape is machine washable and can be tumble dried on low heat. To maintain its effectiveness, ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. If the hooks become clogged with fibers, a small brush can be used to clean them.
