Thanks Maniac and Jeanne. I am going to use the sew on type velcro too, not the sticky kind.
So Maniac, if the bag is to be quilted and probably lined, in which stage of the bag making would you add the velcro? To the lining before it's attached to the bag maybe? Gosh, what if the lining does not "line" up properly when all is said and done? Why is it difficult to sew onto a completed bag? Because of the bulk? I am going to try and add this to my latest laptop bag before I give it away tomorrow. I don't have a walking foot. I only do FMQ.
