"Velcro" Ropes

So after much discussion the rules have somewhat changed in a team update regarding material and what can be on ropes. It seems as though the theory behind "velcro" or velcro-like materials are not illegal, however what they are comprised of and how you attach them to your rope can be. From reading the rules it seems like you can just sew on your velcro onto something like a ratchet strap. That being said, the rules refer to manufacturer's implemented glue or material that is not woven being illegal.
If anyone can help clarify this at all or direct me to a chain store where we can buy some legal velcro we can sew on that would be great!
