That velero is going no where. I have have it pull up and move in the past. But your video was so good nothing moves so looks and works like a professional put it on. Only way cheaper. Thanks so much.
Hi Cassie! Loved your names for the different sides of the Velcro - fluffy and hookey - it gave me a smile. Wondering where you got your accent from - you sound like a real home girl to me (I'm from Leeds but live in Scarborough atm). Lovely video, really innovative - keep up the good work we look forward to them. xx
I like your tutorial on how to sew on Velcro. I was advised to round the corners of the velcro because the corners can be very sharp. Maybe a ti you can add to the tutorial. Thanks I am following all your tips.
Thank you for this very helpful video! I am going to be having some breast surgery and will be unable to lift my arms overhead to put on a shirt, and am wondering if I cut a shirt or sweatshirt down the middle and sew velcro strips will as described, do you think it will work. Have you done this sort of thing? Any tips? Thank you.
Thanks for your instructive, and clear video. I have cut down and sewn a duvet cover, from king to single size. I thought to use velcro as the closure. Would you recommend that I cut it up in small pieces, or can I machine the entire length i.e 1 meter?

Cassie - Because of your good ability to present information I wonder if you could be persuaded to make a video about sewing machine needle sizes ? What is the difference between a style 2020 and a 2045 sewing needle? 90/14 vs 100/16 is also a distinction I'm not clear about. The 14 and 16, I think, refer to the thread size; but, what do the 90 vs 100 stand for?
clavo I did make a video already on needles. Not sure if you can search via mobile but I know you can search via PC very easy. The higher the size ie 90 is best used for cotton and the lower sizes are for lighter materials like silk etc. As the needle head is more thinner and won't create holes. Now I know some top thread needles matter with the density of the thread. Ie on some veragated sulky threads they tell you to use 90/100 . The two numbers are metric and imperial. Sometimes you can find needles only with the one number on them. Take a look at my needle video and let me know if it helps you. 🙂
What sehould our tension be on a regular sewing machine for sewing velcro? I am getting loops under the fabric when trying to sew the velcro ....so I guess it is from the bobbin ...thanks for tutorial 😊
Thank you for the video. I am in the process of sewing cushion covers and am confused as to which side of the Velcro should be on the overlapping part of the cushion cover and which side should be fixed. I would be very grateful for your advice.
I'm assuming you're creating envelope style. You will have an over hang on the envelope. I don't think it really matters but maybe I would have the teeth on the bottom and the fussy part on the top so when up tear it there won't be a much force on It, if you know what I mean. Before you stitch the final seams in place clip or pin the joined up secured Velcro then you know every thing is good before completing. Don't forget the hem the part that us velcroed so it gives my stabilization. Does this help? Cassie.
Great Job Cassie - Before seeing your video, I had my wife use sticky velcro to attach to a cloth support for my walker. As you said, it gummed up the needle. It is strange that it worked ok for the first 3 patches of velcro (hook and loop), but then it refused to sew and the needle was so gumed up it could not be threaded. I instinctively used a drop of machine oil to un-gum the needle; which it did, but still it would not sew. I used a strand of bamboo from a bamboo skewer to clean out the needle eye. There probably is a technique for sewing sticky back but I am not aware of it. I think, (i'm guessing) it involves first putting a drop of oil on the needle before starting to sew and then another drop after about every ten inches of sewing. Maybe a quick spray of WD 40 using that little spray tube or straw that can be attached to the spray can nozzle might work better. Better still is don't use sticky back on cloth. But, it was all I had on hand.
clavo thanks so much for your comment. I see how using sticky hook and loop is such a pain. I don't think i would go that way ever after reading this. Oh my what a pain. I hope the next time you try un sticky it really is easy.
A good solvent to use on sticky needles is 'rubbing alcohol'. (I always keep a small supply of 'pocket size packet pads' close at hand near my sewing machine. A lot of pharmacies carry them in the bandages etc. section. )
What type of sewing machine are you using to sew the hook and loop velcro? I was told to get an industrial machine for my project. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
I'm using my baby lock soprano. I have no idea why someone would suggest an industrial machine for a task like that. Industrial machines are good for sewing thicker multiple layers and they also sew much quicker than regular machines. Let me know if you have any further questions. I love my baby lock so much.
No way should you need an industrial machine unless you are sewing commercial type velcro which can be much thicker. That said; a standard sewing machine should do the job! Just adjust the lower tension and use a sharp needle as advised. Oh ... another option is you could always use a product called 'Liquid Stitch' and glue it on. It can be found in most Fabric stores (around notions), comes in a small (squeeze) bottle, dries clear 'n flexible and can be used on fabrics that will be laundered. Apply it the same way as if you were stitching it on. The beauty of it is; there is no visible stitching on your fabric.
Another tip I was hoping you would share is which piece of Velcro goes on which side of the garment. On the Velcro website it says to place the HOOK side on the garment facing AWAY from the body. Most of videos just use two pieces of fabric rather than a real garment so it’s not clear how to orient the tapes.
I would go with whatever the pattern says, I would think either side would rub as the part the hook and eye sits on is still very corse. I'm going with personal preference as you will be the one wearing it. Another point is the corse side will probably get more wear and tear as you pull it open. I would be inclined to put the hooks on the outer part so you can grab hold of it easily. Just my two sence. Hope this helps Elise
I am looking for some tip and trick to sew the sticky velcro. It won't hold through washing if you don't sew it, sometimes I can not find the color I need on the non sticky one. Problem is that my thread breaks and the needle is sticky and the stitches are awful. I have seen a video that they wipe the needle with acetone then oil it, that works for a few stitches but then it sticks all over again. is there any way to sew it on without this problem??
Hi There, you are going to struggle with the sticky Velcro on the sewing machine i'm afraid as this is what will happen. The glue that has been fixed is incredibly sticky. Another thing that may help is the non stick embroidery needles by schmetz. I still think you are going to struggle. The only other option and I hate to say it is to hand sew.
@@FaodailCreation thank you for your quick response, I was afraid of that answer, since I could not find any tips online. Unfortunately the non sticky colored ones here in Italy are very hard to find, they only sell black or white. :-(
@@FaodailCreation with nail polish remover? Thought of it but never have done it. I think it would be too messy. But if I do try it I will let you know the results. Thank you anyway for trying to help
Is it possible to handsew velcro to polyester please? If yes what type of needle and strong cotton is required? The reason I ask is I'm wanting to hand sew velcro to the underside of a stadium seat. Been told I need to buy stick & sew velcro because I'll be sticking down the sticky velcro part to strong 6mm plastic? (6mm food chopping board to be precise? Thank you.
What you may need to do is get leather needles. And some sinew thread especially if it's for out door use. It's going to be tough but you should be able to do it.
Whenever I tried my thread keeps breaking and tangling on the back side of the fabric.eventually I want to attach Velcro to my cake strips. Any pointers on how to achieve this will be really appreciated. I have a white jeans machine sewing machine. Please help.
@@vivahat9282 just wondering if your thread is old or poor quality. Also you may just need to slow your machine down a bit or change your needle if you havent in a while
@@FaodailCreation maybe, I’ll try to change the thread. I do have a sharp needle. I don’t quite understand what you mean by Slowing my machine down. I have a foot paddle that I step on to control the speed.
@@FaodailCreation I am putting velcro in place of a button on the jeans waistband for a man who has difficulty with buttons. I appreciate your recommendation for putting the rough hook edge on the inside of the jeans and the soft side where the button goes.
thank you for this video! I'm not a beginner with a sewing machine, however this is my first time using velcro as I'm basically sewing something down for my sister- I looked for a tutorial since I was struggling and it's probably because my parents used sticky velcro! I'll finish eventually though haha
@@FaodailCreation yep, my needle will never forgive me 😭 luckily I have spares- and if my parents ask me for anything with velcro in the future I'll remind them to not get the sticky type 😂
I was always afraid to tackle Velcro, but you made it look so easy. Thank you.
Glad I helped you

Hi, could you please tell me what foot you use for the rough side of the velcro. Thanks Carol
i used the regular foot the one with the black thing on the left hand side. Nothing special.

It certainly does 😉👊😉
What sehould our tension be on a regular sewing machine for sewing velcro? I am getting loops under the fabric when trying to sew the velcro ....so I guess it is from the bobbin ...thanks for tutorial 😊
I never have to change my tension with my machine. Are you sure it's a tension issue
Generally if its underneath it's your thread that's the issue. If nesting on top then its bobbin. Try rethreading your top thread with the needle up
@@FaodailCreation thank u I will try that

Where did you get the clips from? They look great!
They came from Amazon. Something like $11,99 for 100. I have a link in my description with all the common items I use.

I just shopped at my local store, Im thinking wider velcro is available. I would check the internet. Thanks Cassie
How do you keep your thread from getting caught in the hook side? The thread ended up all loopy and looks awful 😩
You may need to lengthen your stitches slightly. Maybe they are too narrow or via versa.

My stitches look too lose..can you give me the stitch size and tension I should use for attaching Velcro to cotton?
I generally sew using 3.5 you can make them narrower.
I use the 3.5 stitch, but what should the tension be set at???
I never change my tension. I never need to.
OK..I thank you for your reply!💓💓💓
when i sew velcro the stick side shreds the thread
What kind of thread are you using? How long have you had it? I always use gutermann and dont ever have this issue.
Whenever I tried my thread keeps breaking and tangling on the back side of the fabric.eventually I want to attach Velcro to my cake strips. Any pointers on how to achieve this will be really appreciated. I have a white jeans machine sewing machine. Please help.
What brand of thread are you using.
@@FaodailCreation I am not sure. As you can see I am very much a sewing beginner.
@@vivahat9282 just wondering if your thread is old or poor quality. Also you may just need to slow your machine down a bit or change your needle if you havent in a while
@@FaodailCreation maybe, I’ll try to change the thread. I do have a sharp needle. I don’t quite understand what you mean by Slowing my machine down. I have a foot paddle that I step on to control the speed.
On my machine I have a speed dial that I can make faster or slower. Does your machine not have that
hook part and loop part, not furry part lol :)
Furry part sounds cute though. Lol
I'm gonna make a pink rippable cinderella dress and the blue dress transformation
That's awesome, have you seen some of the you tube videos where people have done this. They are amazing. Have fun with sewing.
Also what theatre do you think I should sell the dress to when I finished it?
Julie Edgar do some research on line I’m sure you will come across something. Good luck
Thx.
I could bit find any results but at least I'll make it I could maybe put it on ebay
Now attach Velcro to an actual item, like a jacket sleeve. Go on, show us!

Did you press send by accident without typing out the rest of your message.
@@FaodailCreation I am putting velcro in place of a button on the jeans waistband for a man who has difficulty with buttons. I appreciate your recommendation for putting the rough hook edge on the inside of the jeans and the soft side where the button goes.
Velcro is going to be perfect for this.
thank you for this video! I'm not a beginner with a sewing machine, however this is my first time using velcro as I'm basically sewing something down for my sister- I looked for a tutorial since I was struggling and it's probably because my parents used sticky velcro! I'll finish eventually though haha
Yes don't use sticky velcro with your sewing machine. Sewing regular velcro is a piece of cake
@@FaodailCreation yep, my needle will never forgive me 😭 luckily I have spares- and if my parents ask me for anything with velcro in the future I'll remind them to not get the sticky type 😂
@@mouthwashs0da happy sewing
Great video! Thank you!
You're welcome, Ginger. Thank you
