What is the best type of sew on velcro to use for crafts?? I am making a few wallets and eye glass cases and need to use velcro. Any suggestions? Also, I would like one that I can sew on with the machine if possible.

joannes sells rolls of velcro-sold by the yard
or you can buy it in pre-cut packages- of small squares- or dots- strips
some velcro comes with a sticky back- those tend to gum up the needle- so if you want to sew it on- just buy (sew-on velcro)

You can also find it here if a Joannes isn't close/too expensive:

Don't buy the stick on kind. It gums up the needle and skips stitches. Sew on works the best. They now have an iron on and I've used that once, but I still like the sew in the best.
