Hook & Loop Sew on (25mtr roll)

Sew-On Hook & Loop Upholstery Tape, 25 Metre Roll

Sew-On Hook & Loop Tape is a practical, reusable fastening system widely used in upholstery, furniture manufacturing, curtain making and soft furnishings. Designed primarily for stitching onto fabrics, it provides a secure, detachable connection between cushions, covers, furniture panels and other suitable components.

Often referred to as sew-on Velcro-style tape, it consists of two complementary surfaces: a hook side with small gripping hooks and a softer loop side. When pressed together, they form a fastening that can be repeatedly opened and closed.

Unlike adhesive-backed tape, sew-on hook and loop fastening tape can be stitched directly into fabric components, making it particularly useful for flexible upholstery materials and removable cushion covers.

Supplied in 25-metre rolls, Status Fabrics offers widths of 20 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm, in beige, black, grey and white. Hook and loop sides are selected separately.

Product Specifications and Available Options

• Length: 25 metres per roll.
• Widths: 20 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm.
• Colours: Beige, black, grey and white.

The 20 mm width is useful for narrow fastening areas and lighter applications, while 25 mm provides a general-purpose option. The wider 50 mm tape offers additional contact area for larger upholstery components.

Both corresponding sides are needed to create a complete fastening. Select the same width for the hook and loop components and choose suitable colours for your upholstery project.

Applications for Sew-On Hook & Loop Tape

Sew-on hook and loop tape is particularly useful where upholstery components must remain securely positioned but can be removed for cleaning, adjustment or maintenance.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa and chair back cushions: Helping prevent loose cushions from sliding forwards.
• Removable seat cushions: Providing positive fastening between suitable cushion covers and furniture platforms.
• Arm pads and headrests: Securing detachable upholstered components.
• Loose covers: Creating adjustable or removable fabric fastenings.
• Upholstered panels: Attaching suitable lightweight fabric-covered panels.
• Curtains and pelmets: Providing removable fastenings for soft-furnishing installations.

For some loose seat cushions, 60 cm Wide Anti-Slip Cloth may provide an alternative where additional grip is required without a positive hook and loop fastening.

For cushion covers requiring a conventional opening,

Sew-On or Self-Adhesive Hook & Loop Tape?

Choosing the correct upholstery fastening tape depends on the receiving material and the intended attachment method.

Sew-On Hook & Loop Tape

Sew-on tape is particularly suitable for fabric applications where the fastening needs to withstand repeated opening and closing.

It can be stitched into cushion covers, loose covers and suitable upholstery panels using appropriate Sewing Threads and Twines.

For suitable furniture constructions, the tape may also be secured using Upholstery Staples or a compatible adhesive.

Self-Adhesive Hook & Loop Tape

The Self-Adhesive Hook & Loop Tape, 25 Metre Roll features an adhesive backing made for suitable smooth, clean and dry surfaces.

It provides a convenient alternative where stitching is impractical, although adhesive-backed tape may not bond reliably to textured fabrics, flexible materials or porous substrates.

In some upholstery applications, the sew-on loop side may be attached to a cushion cover while a compatible self-adhesive hook side is fitted to a suitable furniture surface.

Sewing and Fitting Hook & Loop Tape

For a neat, durable fastening, position the tape accurately before sewing and use thread suitable for the upholstery material.

Stitching along both edges of the tape helps distribute the load and reduces the risk of the fastening lifting during repeated use. Additional reinforcement may be appropriate at heavily used ends.

Avoid positioning exposed hook tape against delicate upholstery fabrics or loose polyester wadding, as the hooks may catch and pull fibres.
