Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | I would like to know this as well. I always buy mine with a 50% off any one item coupon at Joann. I buy 2 yards, so it is like getting a yard for free, but it's still a little pricey I thought. I'd love to have a big 'ol roll of black, cream, and white.

| I bought the 3/4 inch and sew on 2 strips... I've bought dresses that have the 2 inch velcro but they seem so stiff.... the 3/4 inch X2 seems to be softer and gives a bit more... IDK. Got 3/4 inch iron on (which helps hold it while I stitch it in place) at JoAnn's online, 15 feet for about $15.00 during a 50% off sale.

| Thanks ladies! Years ago (when I sewed as Snoutmamma's Designs) I bought 2" white, black, on big rolls, but back then we had sewing stores all over this town. It can be stiff.... I found this 10 yds for $10 something through Amazon, thinking of trying this and see what the quality is... Amazon.com: 2" 10 yds White Sew on Hook and Loop Velcro½ Style: Arts, Crafts & Sewing Also wondering if this price is good but it is compared to what you are paying. I was going to HL or Hancock or Joann's, but I'll bet it is higher there, closer to $20..............

| Yipee! new velcro All, I bought 2 rolls of velcro from Amazon and it arrived Monday and I love it! It is stiff. It is 2" wide and 10 yards per roll, so I have enough to last a long, long time. Just want to recommend it for anyone who does alot of sewing.

| Wow! My Walmarts don't carry a 2" wide other than for walls, cabinets and things like that, not for sewing. I have bought what they have in the past as well as colored velcro from hobby lobby. I like the 2" so I can cut it in half if I need to... My next experiment with it is using Liquid Stitch to glue it to fabric....so far, so good.

The only thing with the iron on... it only adheres to one side, so I sew through it, the fabric, and the lining anyway to give it more strength... the bands get so much use I was worried about my dresses just ripping apart one day!
