Hi, When installing the bottom cover I use an ordinary paper stapler and put 4 staples on each of the velcro tabs on the fabric side. The ones on the piano I secure with a single staple from a gun designed to be used with wood. Since I did this no covers have become detached. I have thought about getting one of the small portable "hand held" sewing machines instead of using staples. Has anyone used one of these small battery operated sewing machines? If so, would it be "up to the job" of sewing on the velcro tabs? At 08:32 AM 20/06/2004 -0500, you wrote: >>>My four hangups are: (1) Can it be installed to look professional? > > >Ditto.
