    I would stick with velcro...I bought my sticky side only from a sewing machine /long arm place... Try this link:

    you can buy it by the inch..and just one side.

    On the longarm I rent, they are attached with duct tape. It's never been a problem with me. The machine is 5 years old, and she's never had to replace the tape. Hope that helps!

    I have an Innova 26 and the leaders are fastened to the poles with duct tape. I use leader grips to fasten the quilt to the leaders.
