I've found small cable ties (zip ties, cord ties, whatever you call them) work absolutely great.

A tip on the Zip Ties , Cut the pointed end with a pair of scissors or diagonal cutters at a 35 to 25 degree angle. The idea is to make the end sharp, It will work like a needle when you tie the screen to the fb. Hope that helps.

I always sew mine on with fishing line. Sure, it's tedious as hell, but it works great.
