What is a double velcro embroidery?
Double Velcro embroidery involves an embroidery patch with two layers of Velcro—the hook side and the loop side—allowing it to be attached securely to any Velcro-compatible surface and easily exchanged or replaced when desired.
How does double velcro embroidery work?
To perform a double velcro embroidery, you need two separate velcros; one is supposed to be sewn or adhered onto the surface where you want your patch, while the second Velcro is attached at the back side of your embroidered patch. When these two pieces of Velcro are interlocked, they provide firm connections that can easily be detached. This setup works well for cases where patches must be moved often or replaced.
How does double velcro embroidery enhance my items?
This method offers more than just an artistic touch; it also allows for practicality, as different designs may be interchanged without removing stitches or dealing with adhesives.
