   My husband finds the wide Velcro at hardware stores such as Orchard--these days it is much used for corralling things that you use in the garage or in the yard. I have occasionally seen it in Jo-Ann's fabric stores, too (though not in all of them).

   *Have you tried contacting the companies that make the velcro you find in ordinary fabric stores? Few retailers carry every item a manufacturer makes. A given hook-and-loop manufacturer might make one line directed at home sewers and another line directed at hardware stores, for instance.Also, have you tried looking in the yellow pages under “Sewing—Notions—Wholesalers”?

   *Andy, did you find your velcro? I had an upholstery shop and was able to get it at the upholstery supply shop. You might try one in your area- most will sell retail or try an upholstery shop.
