    I was wondering if any of the more fabric savvy of you out there know the names of any Velcro compatible fabrics.

    I'm looking to make some display items for my FanForce chapter, and need a fabric that will accept the hook side of velcro fasteners.

    That way we can attach photos and signage fairly easily to the fabric.

    A quick search led me to several trade show display links, where they offer varieties of the stuff for their kits, but thats not what I want. I'm hoping somebody can say something like "Ask for X-type felt"

    Worse comes to worse I head down to a store, velcro in hand and test fabrics for applicability.

    I have had terrific luck using automotive headliner for velcro mounting, which most large-chain fabric stores now carry.
