We still have some interesting sewing tricks for us who sew. It turns out that sewing a hook neatly is not at all difficult. You just need to take the right thread.
But in this way, you can easily lay the folds. And I somehow suffered with an insert into a blouse, ripped it up several times and stitched it again in places so that there were even folds.
The folds were laid evenly, now, so that they do not scatter, we creak them with masking tape, and we will stitch (if necessary) along the transverse clearings, between the strips of ribbons. Well, how simple!
Here helpful advice Very. Those fabrics that are difficult to sew and thick seams are much easier to sew through a piece of the bag, the needle glides better than on tracing paper. Only the package needs a transparent one.
But delicate fabrics, on which the foot does not slip, are easier to sew by sticking pieces of adhesive tape on the foot. Painting again, removed without a trace.
An easy way to keep your thread scissors handy at all times. We stick a plastic hook in a convenient place on the typewriter (such hooks are already sold with a sticky layer)
Stick a couple of magnets on reverse side saucers so that the pins do not crumble.

How to sew on Velcro
- When we cut, we try to do it without touching the hooks and loops that make up the Velcro. Cut to exactly the right size
- Let's now combine hooks and loops in several places - for stability
- Set the thread tension for medium or heavy weight fabrics.
- We will make sure that the needle in the machine is sharp and heavy-duty and lubricate it with grease.
- If there is, we will replace the foot with a special one. If there is no such foot, we will direct the needle to the left or right - depending on the side that we sew and sew exactly along the edge.
- You can use beeswax to lubricate the needle.
- Never use Velcro that has a sticky side, they will only make sewing difficult and smear the needle.

How to sew hooks beautifully and correctly? Where and when is it needed? Let's consider some points:
- in finished products: skirt, coat, trousers;
- in linen products -

Hooks and loops are used in products if:
- Imitation of a fastener on a dress is necessary. I explain - decorative buttons are sewn for beauty, and under them there is a hook and loop fastener
- when it is difficult to match buttons to the color of the product;
- when the fabric of the product is very thick: drape, denim;
- V men's trousers;
- when your machine does not perform the "loop" function;
- or in addition to the fastener to strengthen a certain place on the product. I explain: a woman has big breasts and wears tight blouses. As a rule, the clasp diverges at the chest line. This is where the hook and loop is needed.
What are hooks and loops?
Various sizes and shapes; metal and plastic; covered decorative; for linen and outerwear, also hand-made loops,
Hooks are easier, they are mostly not visible on the front side. But the loops do not always fit ready-made. Then we make it by hand. How to do it? We count the width of the loop and the number of loops, multiply this figure by 4, we get the desired length for making a cord for the loop. The length can be longer, cutting off the excess is not difficult. If only one loop is needed, take 10cm for calculation. Watch the video tutorial below.

Friends, hello everyone!
Although they say trouser hooks, they can also be used as fasteners on a wide variety of other types of clothing - on skirts, shorts, raincoats, jackets, etc. These hooks are already much stronger, if I may say so, heavier than simple sew-on hooks and can hold the edges of the fastener on products sewn from very strong and thick fabrics.
Like simple sew-on hooks with loops, trouser hooks are made different manufacturers, from different metals, the most diverse in shape and size.
But trouser hooks have evolved much more than simple sew-on hooks, and are already more diverse in terms of the composition of component parts and methods of attachment to the product.
At present, there are types trouser hooks:
- sewn-on trouser hook with eyes;
- sewn trouser hook with adjustable loops;
- hook - button;
- trouser hook on spikes.
Hook trouser sewn with eyes.
All those trouser hooks, sewn with eyes, which can be purchased at various specialized stores selling sewing supplies, are very different from each other in appearance. And the eyes for which such a hook is attached to the product can be a different number. And 4, and 5, and 6, and 7 pcs.
But they consist, all sewn-on trouser hooks with eyes, always only from two parts. The first part is the hook itself. It is usually a differently curved metal plate. The second piece is the loop. A narrow metal plate is a frame, much smaller in size than the first part.
Any pair of such trouser hooks is sewn to the product like this. Small, round eyes of hooks are sewn with 3 - 4 stitches, and large oblong eyes, with several (5 - 10) rows of parallel stitches, which are laid close to each other.
Sew-on trouser hooks with eyes are intended for making only a secret fastener and only an overlap fastener. And they are always sewn on so that they are not visible from the front side.
Such hooks act as if in addition to the zipper on the waist line, on the belt. They protect the zipper from breakage and divergence of its sides during operation.
Now let's see how such a couple is located directly on the product.
How to sew on trouser hooks?
2. Then the loop must be hooked onto the hook. As if they are already working.
3. And holding the loop with your fingers, close the zipper to the end.
Or vice versa, first close, and then insert a loop into the hook. Doesn't matter.
4. The “locality” at the other end of the belt where it lies, the loop is “reprinted”, and there is a place to which it needs to be attached. First with pins so that the loop does not move,
and then with a needle and thread, hand-stitched stitches, it is attached to this place.
So sewn on trouser hook sewn with eyes, in addition to the zipper, which is located on the models of clothes in the seam, in the center.
On trousers and other types of clothing, where the zipper is slightly shifted to the left side of the center (when viewed from the front side), such a hook is made in the same way. Only due to the fact that the zipper in such fasteners is displaced, the loop also shifts slightly away from it.
If such hooks completely replace the usual fastener (buttons, buttons, zipper), then the hook-to-loop engagement line should be located on the product along.
On men's clothing, where the edges of the fastener are on top of each other from left to right, the trouser hooks are made in the same way, but only in a mirror image.
How much to place sewn-on trouser hooks with eyes on the product depends on the width of the belt, on the shape and length of both its ends.
Trouser hook with adjustable loops or hook-regulator.
A trouser hook with adjustable loops or a hook-regulator is used when it becomes necessary to somehow influence body volumes that change several times during the day.
Still slim in the morning. And then, someone had a hearty lunch or even had dinner, and by the evening the figure was also hunched under the weight of problems and stress, and the body was swollen, in addition to everything. Here is a volume-regulating hook and it will come in handy.
This is also a sewing hook. The hook itself, from a pair of hook-regulator, is sewn in the same way as a sew-on hook with eyes (see above in the article). But his partner is a loop, attached to the product, by sewing in rows of parallel stitches, oblong eyes along its edges.
But before sewing a loop from this pair, you need to correctly determine the place of its "registration". This is done in the same way as with the “single” loop described above, but you need to focus on the first loop from the hook. Its location must be adjusted to the hook. After all, if you place it more to the left than necessary, then it will not be able to hold the lightning, and it will be subjected to increased loads.
And if you need to tighten the waist, then another, next loop is “picked up” on the hook. And a few centimeters of loosening the tightness of the fit of clothes will not affect the lightning in any way.
Hook - button.
The hook-button installed on the front side looks exactly like a button, but works like a full-fledged hook.
Hook-buttons are sold in specialized stores, in blister packs, a kit designed for approximately one product and with a special tool for their installation. Or separately, by the piece and without tools.
Even without a special tool, you can try to install this type of hook yourself, using a simple set of tools that every home probably has.
And you can not take risks, and give such a hook - a button for installing it on a product in a specialized studio - workshop.
Hook trouser penetrating, spiked.
Very often, sewing lovers ask themselves: “ How to sew on a trouser hook on spikes? I have a short and comprehensive answer to this question. No way!!! Sew it on just n-e-in-o-s-m-o-zh-n-o!
Unlike all previous types of trouser hooks, this type is attached to the product in a completely different way, just in a radically different way. Holes are nailed into the material with the tips of the spikes, and then the spikes are bent onto decorative overlays.
Trouser hooks on spikes may differ from each other in design, number of spikes. There may be 2, 3, or 4.
But all sets of spiked trouser hooks consist of four parts.
- hook;
- a loop;
- decorative overlay for a hook;
- decorative overlay for a loop.
In fact, if “in the right way”, then the trouser hook on the spikes is installed on the trousers until the belt is finished on them. The location of the hook and loop is determined, and lining is installed inside the belt.
so then on finished product, the hook and loop are inside and are not visible from the front side.
But setting up a spiked hook like this is such a tedious business, requiring calculations, precision. What if it's a mistake? And the holes are already pierced!
Look at the decorative hook and loop overlays. They are so neat and very cute. So why not install the spiked hook so that the hook overlay is visible from the front side of the product. This installation of the spiked hook does not require difficult calculations.
Of course, it would be best if a spiked hook is installed by a specialist in this business, from an atelier or a sewing workshop, and even a happy owner of a press with a set of special nozzles - punches, for this business.
But at home, you can try to install such a hook. It installs very simply. The most difficult thing is to carefully bend the spikes with home tools.
And the trouser hook is placed on the spikes on the product in the same way as all other types of hooks described above. First, the hook itself is placed on one side of the fastener, and then the loop “adjusts” under it on the other side.
All the best! Sincerely, Milla Sidelnikova!
I will quote here the discussion of buttons-
Tell me, are the buttons sewn on? Can you take a closer photo? I want to try it too, but I don’t know how to sew it on so that it’s neat from the face.
Thank you!
The buttons are normal. For some reason there is no photo ... Therefore, I will attach a photo of the buttons from my coat. 
But, frankly, for me this is a feat. Calculate the correct hexagon and print it on the face and inside on all the buttons!... It doesn't work right away. I think it is necessary to introduce such sewing as a complicating element, and preferably 2. It is very difficult for me. If anyone knows how to do this with half a kick, please share!
Tamara, to be honest, for the FIRST TIME I saw plastic gaskets with holes. Where do you find these consumables? It's good that you came to our forum, many nuances can be learned from you! Even the thought never arose that the sealing gasket can be made decorative element. Thanks for the science!
Mikhallna, we have appeared in Kharkov, and even more so in Moscow. Ask Swetulekk, she seems to have used them in some products 
Tanechka, thank you, I have very beautiful curly sewn buttons different sizes and flowers made of plastic and metal. But here it makes sense that the buttons are punchy ordinary, only the hat is not over the front fabric, but under the raincoat fabric, which is why Tamara made such a sheathing with a hexagon. Tamara, did I understand the process correctly?
No. these are ordinary sew-on buttons, as silvaveresky showed in the photo. Just a slightly different configuration. I just have round ones, she has a flower. If there were punching ones, I would not bother with a hexagon. Although, this is an idea, to make punching on the selection, and outside it will just be easier to embroider the decor)))

Such hooks act as if in addition to the zipper on the waist line, on the belt. They protect the zipper from breakage and divergence of its sides during operation. Now let's see how such a couple is located directly on the product. How to sew on trouser hooks? 1. First, a needle and thread, matched to each other and to the main color tone of the product, is passed through the upper layers of the material, at the place where the hook will be located. With this first stitch, you need to bring the end of the thread inside the material, and then with a few stitches back the needle, fasten the thread to the product. First, on the left, inner side of the belt, a hook is sewn (when viewed from the front side). 2. Then, the loop must be hooked onto the hook. As if they are already working. 3. And holding the loop with your fingers, close the zipper to the end. Or vice versa, first close, and then insert a loop into the hook. Doesn't matter. 4. "Terrain", at the other end of the belt, where it lies, the loop is "reprinted" and there is a place to which it needs to be attached. First with pins so that the loop does not move, and then with a needle and thread, stitches, it is fixed to this place. This is how a sewn-in trouser hook with eyes is sewn, in addition to the zipper, which is located on the clothing models in the seam, in the center. On trousers and other types of clothing, where the zipper is slightly shifted to the left side of the center (when viewed from the front side), such a hook is made in the same way. Only, due to the fact that the zipper in such fasteners is moved, the loop also shifts slightly away from it. If such hooks completely replace the usual fastener (buttons, zipper), then the hook-to-loop engagement line should be located on the product along the middle line of the fastener. On men's clothing, where the edges of the fasteners overlap each other from left to right, the trouser hooks are made in exactly the same way, but only in a mirror image. How much to place sewn-on trouser hooks with eyes on the product depends on the width of the belt, the shape and length of both ends.
