Terry -

3M makes a Velcro alternative called Dual Lock that is IMO a big
improvement over Velcro.

It comes in a variety of formats and colors, this is just one example:

The pieces snap together with an audible click and hold well.  It does not
lose its grip over time like Velcro sometimes does.  The sticky back may or
may not be better - depending on the surface you may have to add some
adhesive to get lasting attachment.  Fabric/fiber is particular is
difficult as the connection strength of the product may be stronger than
its adherence to the item.
