When it comes to very small sewing jobs, you don’t really need a sewing machine–just a needle and some thread and hand sew it.  It’s not that hard to do and if the area is fairly small, doesn’t take much time or effort.

I question how well glue would work for this. I do know that sewing, even hand sewing, will in all probability work better and be significantly more durable for velcro to fabric. The stronger iron-heat/press bond stuff might work ok, but thread will still be better.

Fabric glue or sticky-backed velcro works well in that you can apply it, test the fit, and then sew it in place.

+1 on Justin’s suggestion to just hand-sew a small project – it is easier for a beginning seamster to sew bonding or taped fabrics than to hold it all together with straight pins.

And get a thimble.
