How much FOE should I have on hand?

[KariM]

I'm finally getting ready to start sewing up diaper covers for the babe due in April.

I have my PUL and have ordered my snap press and snaps.

Now I need to order FOE.

Anyone know how much I should order???

I'm primarily sewing newborn and small infant covers (I'd like enough finished to get this babe through about the 6 month size or so).

I am sorry, but I don't have any input about how much FOE you need. I just today figured out what it is.
But I was wondering if you could share what snap press you ordered? I want to sew some dipes, but am not fond of velcro/aplix. Thanks much!!

I ended up ordering 15 yards and I figure I can order more if I need it.

As for the snap press, I ordered the snap press from The Snap Store.

I've been using it making mama cloth for a few weeks now and LOVE it! It's really easy to use and I know I'll end up using it for kids' clothing, too.

I got the size 16 die set, but will probably be ordering the size 20 soon too.

It takes approx 1 yard to do one cover... maybe a bit less for newborn/ small covers. so 15 yds should get you a bunch!
