Installing Hook-and-Loop Tape in Clothing

Lay your piece of hook-and-loop tape on the fabric where you would like it to live.

Pin the hook-and-loop tape into place.

Position your fabric under the presser foot of your sewing machine in the upper right hand corner of the hook-and-loop tape. Drop the presser foot.

Use the balance wheel to sink the needle.

Sew along the edge of the hook-and-loop tape, stopping just at the end.

Pull the pin out.

Lift the presser foot, leaving the needle sunk.

Rotate the fabric 90º counterclockwise.

Lower the presser foot and sew the second side of the hook-and-loop tape.

Continue sewing the hook-and-loop tape. When you come to the end of a side, sink the needle into the fabric and lift the presser foot. Then turn the fabric at each of the remaining corners.

On the last side of the hook-and-loop tape, backstitch over the last few stitches.

Clip the threads, freeing the fabric from the sewing machine.

Clip the extra thread off.

Repeat this guide for the other side of the hook-and-loop tape.
