This unique, sew-on style of hook and loop has both the hook and the loop together in alternating rows on one side of the tape. The loop stands above the hook buffering them from snagging fabrics and giving them a soft touch against the skin. Pressing firmly, it sticks well to itself and yet does not pick up lint like traditional hook fastener does. It also does not stick to other fabrics, like no-see-um mesh thus keeping the fabrics from snagging. Uses: great for cinching straps- easily adjustable to tighten and loosen. Also, being used to to keep your sleeping quilt attached to your sleeping pad while sleeping by sewing one strip to your quilt and glueing another strip to your sleeping pad to attach the quilt to pad and eliminate cold spots.
