Velcro is used in sewing as a closure, it has a furry side and a coarse side called the hook and loop. Velcro is very easy to attach to fabric.
If you are attaching the Velcro to a regular cotton I advise you to stabilize the cotton. This is because the cotton will not have a strong enough weave and it just helps to give that extra stability.
The process for attaching the velcro is the same for both sides, you don’t need a special sewing foot just your regular straight foot for sewing and set your sewing machine to a straight stitch. I would set the straight stitch to a 3.5 don’t go too narrow on the stitch length.
Another way to stabilize your cotton fabric is to create a double hem folding over your fabric twice. then stitching into place.
Now you are ready to place the velco down onto your fabric.
First of all stitch around the velcro in a rectangle shape.
Once complete you are going to sew across like an X over that vlecro an extra hold
When attaching the other side remember how the fabric is going to close. One side of the velcro should be on the right side of the fabric and the other part of the velcro should be on the wrong side of the fabric.
Stitch that side of the fabric exactly like we did just before.
Congratulations you have attached velcro to fabric!!
