Does anyone know what type of elastic is around the edges of the one-size Motherease diapers? I had a set with my first two children and loved them, but now they are worn out and I want to attempt to make some of my own. However, I don't have a serger and thought that the elastic would make a good alternative edging for stretchy fabrics (like recycled t-shirts). I just don't know enough about sewing to know what to call the elastic around the edge. Their web site calls it "rib knit binding" - is that something I can ask for at the fabric store? It's very soft, not quite like a regular fold-over elastic.
I'd love to hear comments on the idea of making diapers with this type of procedure. I'm thinking of getting a snap press, because that was one of the reasons I loved the motherease so much: I don't like velcro.
