In the end, it really doesn't matter which side it goes on, it's your stuff, you can do whatever you please with it. As long as your pedals aren't falling off the board then it's purpose has been served.
Does it matter which way Velcro go?
Basically, this is telling us that the soft Velcro goes on the base material, and the stick side goes on the individual pieces. Which actually makes sense when you think about, because otherwise you could never use Velcro pieces on a felt board, or other soft material surface.
Do you need Velcro for a pedal board?
Velcro can be a viable alternative in some cases, but it is less sturdy and needs completely flat surfaces to work. For example, Velcro isn't thick enough to work with most wah-pedals, even if you've removed the rubber feet. Also large and heavy pedals can prove especially difficult to keep in place.
