Also know, which side of Velcro goes on fabric?
Note: For best results, use hook fastener on side of garment that faces away from the skin. Fastener can be washed or dry cleaned. If possible, close fastener when laundering to minimize lint and thread build-up on fastener.
Furthermore, how do you attach fabric to fabric without sewing? There are two great ways to attach fabric without sewing: fabric glue or a fusible bonding tape like Dritz Stitch Witchery. If you have a sewing machine, sewing is often still the fastest and most reliable method for many projects, but fabric glue or Stitch Witchery are great alternatives.

How do you make Velcro stick better?
Brushing them with a toothbrush is one of the quickest and easiest ways to revitalise VELCRO® Brand fasteners – plus, you'll probably already have a spare one in the bathroom cupboard! Lay the hook and loop fasteners flat and then brush them with short, hard strokes to remove any debris.
