Tom,
Velcro fasteners are known generally as hook-and-loop fasteners because one
surface is made up of tiny hooks and the other surface is made up of tiny
loops. Usually, a section of the part with hooks is applied to one side of
the article to be closed with a fastener and a section of the part with
loops is applied to the other side of the article to be closed with a
fastener. Thus, the hook material and the loop material are usually
provided as two different pieces or two different rolled up strips.
My question was whether the strips to which you originally referred actually
have hooks on one face and loops on the other face such that when you bring
one end around and overlap it with the other end the hooks on one face would
engage the loops on the other face.
Knowing what to search for makes it easier for my personal shopper to find
it.
Thanks,

Bob:
The strips I use have a loop on the one end, and a tapered hook on the other
end that you can thread through the loop for a secure fit. The larger
velcro roll I also spoke of earlier is one continuous piece, with no hooks
or loops; you just cut the size you need, and wrap the strip around
whatever you are trying to secure.
Personally, I prefer the strips with the loop and tapered hook, but I have
used the roll too with good success.
Hope this description helps.
As soon as you see one of the strips with the loop and hook, you'll know
what I'm trying to convey here.
