True... But it took mine about 16 years before it fell! This works
fine for light weigh ones.

All of the ones that I made using Velcro are still hanging (10 plus years).
Lack of grip is usually due to lint, etc. in the hooks and that can usually
be combed right out.

In the end it wasn't the Velcro itself that failed, it was the sticky
back glue. The bit above the fanlight, which is open all summer, lost
its adhesive qualities. As, by then, the fabric was rotting into holes,
I took it down and put curtains up. I was bored with replacing the
cords every year or so when they wore through and broke. Roman blinds
look good but are a pain in the bum! I'd only use them again if there
was no alternative.
