Did your mom use a special needle and thread? Also, what's this "special fabric" she used to sew on the velcro? Nice idea. Did your mom use a special needle and thread?

The "special fabric", I don't know its name in english. It is very thin, light and a bit translucent. Its only purpose is to enable a smooth sewing of slippery materials. After you sewed it, you tear it off. No, she did not use anything special, standard needle and a thread she had around.

What do you mean by "transporting" the fabric? Unless you're extremely good at sewing, I think it would be easier to have square corners than round corners--the "ears" are on the inside.

If the material is too slippery, the machine is not able to move it and makes too many stiches on the same position. My mom told me, that a page of a news paper works as well. We had square corners first, it didn't look very nice. My mom sewed them again and we cut them very close to the join. It worked quite well.
