Hi guys, I'm Cassie from Faodail Creation, and if you want to learn how to use your sewing machine
Or simple sewing tips and tricks I upload videos right here every single Wednesday on this channel in
This sewing tutorial I'm going to show you how to attach velcro to fabric
So velcro has two parts it will have a side that's got these really
coarse hoops on it and the second side is like a little bit softer and fluffier and
When you stick them both together?
they attach
really firmly
And you can rip them apart
I'm going to show you how to attach velcro to fabric that's un sticky
because if you use the sticky version of velcro it generally gunks up your needle
And it's going to be harder for you to attach to the fabric so I recommend that you go with unsticky velcro
So here I have my scrap piece of fabric
And my two pieces of velcro, this is my hooky part, and this is my soft furry part
I'm going to start with the furry part first, and I'm just going to clip it into place, so it doesn't move on me
So I'm over at my sewing machine, and I'm going to make my stitch length a little bit shorter
I'm using a really hot pink thread in both of my top thread as well as my bobbin thread as
You'll see on the fabric. You would probably want to use a grey thread in your bobbin as the
fabric is gray
I'm also using a
90/14 micro Tex needle and you are going to want to put your
needle in the down position
So every time it stops at the end of the velcro here. It's going to stop in the downward position
So when you pivot
It's down, and it makes it easier to work with so
We are going to attach this fluffy velcro all the way around
the rectangle
If it's your first time
Attaching velcro to fabric I would just recommend that you just take your speed control
Down a little bit so this regulates
How fast you can go
So now we're pivoting around this corner
And you see how easy it is to pivot around this corner with your needle in the downward position
And then we're going to pivot again
Now when we come to this corner
We are going to do a diagonal line across the velcro all the way to this other corner down here
Now we're at this corner we want to just get to this other corner over here
So we're just going to travel back down
again
Down the original section
And then we are going to go down to this next corner
This is how we attach the velcro
So we went all the way up here
Across all the way down here and then across and we made this nice
Rectangle and then when we got to this corner here we went
diagonally and then
We wanted to do the other diagonal so we went across
here to
Here, and then we did another diagonal across
making a cross
To make sure that this velcro is firmly attached to the back of the fabric
Let me show you again how to attach velcro to fabric this time is the more
coarser side of the velcro
This here is the coarser side of the velcro
needle down and
We're going to go down
It stops in the downward position and we're going to pivot
Stops in the down, and we're going to pivot
Stops in the down, and we're going to pivot again
Now we've come to that corner, and we want to go diagonally across the velcro
Then we come to this part here, and we're going to travel across our existing stitch
And then we're going to come diagonally back down to this section here
So here is the velcro is attached to the fabric and we went across
We did the rectangle box and we stopped here
And we wanted to do our diagonals, so we came all the way down
And then we had to stitch across some of our existing stitches over here
And then we go all the way up
Just to make that stronger
attachment for our velcro and on the reverse it's going to look something like this
So here we have it two pieces of velcro attached, let's just place them together
And they're going nowhere
there we go I
