Re: Velcro on rope?

The only issues I see with Velcro would be any inclusion of adhesive on the Velcro and how you would go about attaching it the end of your rope. Picking the right Velcro to use and being able to "twist, tie, weave, or braid" it to the rest of your rope are the things to watch out for.

Is stitching with thread (to attach non-adhesive velcro to another similar strap) not just a kind of "tying" using a different flexible fiber?
