How to Sew Velcro to a Paperback Book Caddy

Video Transcript

"Okay, let's sew our Velcro on now. You want to sew as close to the edge as possible. So, not even 1/4 of an inch, more like an 1/8 of an inch. Make sure that the bobbin thread that you have in there is going to coordinate or be hidden by the fabric that you're sewing. You don't want to have anything that's going to show. You want to sew it nice and close to the edge. We'll just continue down and sew both pieces. When you get to the corner you should put the needle in to pivot and continue. You don't want to use the sticky Velcro for this job because it gums up the needle as you're sewing and it makes really difficult to work with. The sticky stuff is not strong enough to hold for the purpose. We don't want to use the sticky Velcro. Let me just find the scissors. We'll trim this, these threads, and we'll do the centers here. Back and forth and back and forth. You want to continue that with all 4 corners and all your Velcro."
