My needle gets all "goopy" and the stitches either skip or it does not catch at all - I kinda gave up - I am also open to ideas! I have A Baby Lock Proline 650. I have tried umpteen settings, to no avail! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
May God Bless you!

| I just use a normal stitch setting & sew on the edges where there is no velcro & never have a problem. I've also used the zig zag stitch & no problem. Always stays secure & doesn't dull my needle. That's what that edge is for. Don't watch your needle, watch the velcro strip. |

Hi Adrienne, Do you mean 'goopy' with glue? I don't think the self-adhesive velcro is meant to be sewn on. Hope this helps. 
Take care,
