can i use fabric glue to fasten the sticky side of the velcro to fleece? will that hold up in a washing machine?

Any type of Velcro material with adhesive will not stand up to any kind of stress for long. If the fabric glue you plan to use is reliable, you would still need to use some kind of agent to remove the glue from the Velcro before applying it. The strength of the bond between fabric glue applied to the glue on the Velcro strip would only be as strong as that of the Velcro glue to the Velcro, which is not durable. Sorry. You are better off getting non-adhesive Velcro. Using an awl stitcher to sew on Velcro to fabric will provide the durability you seek.

I would be inclined to say no. I got a bit of fabric glue on mine that bled through some fabric and it hasn't come off yet.

I've washed mine in the washing machine inside a lingerie bag so the Velcro didn't stick to other items. I've line dried and put them in the dryer and they held up fine. They tend to stretch out from use and the dryer shrinks them back to a more snug fit.

from my experience the adhesive is not that great so that the velcro is stronger than the adhesive and pulls one side away-especially when it is warm - So I resorted to glueing the velcro down to prevent this but it sort of takes away the advantage of having an adhesive already there

No, the fabric is not fused nor attached thermally. It does not use any type of adhesive, either. I believe that a well-protected needle in some way "pulls" small threads of the fabric together. Only fabric that is a bit heavier, such as felt, can be used successfully. I have just purchased a second Sew Cool machine for another 6year-old granddaughter.

I would not use it on fleece. It is a very thick wax, and must be melted into the fibers.

Yes. A simple solution would be to get a downy ball and use it like you were using fabric softener.

Get some heavy duty, low mesh sticky back Velcro, Comes in many shapes, sizes & even a cut-to-size sheet, for like 3.00 at Walmart or here on amazon, & stick it to the backing pad that's on this machine. Same results.

Sticky self-adhesive Velcro. Doesn't work very well. As some other reviewers have suggested, getting a grommet kit and a couple of small bungees to hold the sides up as a DIY fix is probably the best option.

It probably will. The stickiness may wear off sooner in that case, but you could use nylon threads and a needle to add another layer if stiching so it'll last much longer

I would say it's 1/8 of an inch. I have not glued it to a surface. Not sure what your purpose is but it may be better to have it as a removable object. It gets more absorbent as you wash it up to 9 washes, at that point it's at full absorbency. So maybe wash it a few times with laundry before glueing it down? May change shape a bit so cut to size after. If there is any sewing involved, sew prior to washing because it does fluff up after washing a bit. Not much. Hope this helps!

It might be ok, but I would be afraid it would melt it. I would use "no sew" glue.

I personally do not think it will remain stuck after a wash. It sticks well to paper but not clothes

Yes if they aren't used much. It is a good song velcro.... But not meant for sewing. Hope that helps!

I wouldn't. You could perhaps cut an inch or 2 off each side and refinish the edges on a sewing machine, if you know what you're doing. The magnets on sewn in between the fabric like a pocket as you can see in the photo. The problem is that there are 3 magnets across the top and 3 cross the bottom and the are not all the same distance from the edge. one magnet is 3 inches from the edge, one is 2.5, and one is as close an inch from the edge. We are very happy with the blanket although we bought 2 more magnets from the hardware store to put on each side . I hope that I've answered your question.

Works great to adhere fabrics, not sure "kids jumping on it" would be sturdy with any adhesive.

There are spray-on adhesives available at most craft stores that will do the trick nicely. Just don't spray it too thickly, you just want the surface of the fabric to stick, saturating the fabric would probably reduce its effectiveness; and use a small roller or flat scraper to smooth from the center out to attach the fabric smoothly. You will want to cut and do a dry fit before you glue, so that you will have good fit when you get ready to affix the fabric.
