简介
Hook and loop fastenings are quick and convenient for adjusting cuffs and hems on many sportwear items. But sometimes, the fastening is so strong, that repeated use can break the surrounding stitching. Especially on children's items, this can become very frustrating. In this guide, we'll show you how to repair this quickly and easily.
