I made some microfibre flats - trifolds- and didn't overlock them (wish I had one) and they are fine. Have frayed slightly, but nothing major. I have just ordered some more MF and some Hemp from greenbeans to make some Mf/Hemp trifolds with. I will let you know how they go not being overlocked!!]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 19:55:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378527&title=diy-inserts#378527 <![CDATA[DIY Inserts? : Thanks Stacey, I thought that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378445&title=diy-inserts#378445 Author: sally belly

Thanks Stacey, I thought that might be the case.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 18:24:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378445&title=diy-inserts#378445 <![CDATA[DIY Inserts? : Hemp doesn&#039;t really fray...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378407&title=diy-inserts#378407 Author: kebakat

Hemp doesn't really fray but it is better with an overlocked edge otherwise bits of hemp end up on everything!]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 17:23:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378407&title=diy-inserts#378407 <![CDATA[DIY Inserts? : Hemp french terry won&#039;t fray,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378352&title=diy-inserts#378352 Author: AliaDawn

Hemp french terry won't fray, it won't look so pretty, but does the job fine zigzagged/not even sewn.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 16:30:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378352&title=diy-inserts#378352 <![CDATA[DIY Inserts? : When my mum made me some she had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378347&title=diy-inserts#378347 Author: mummy_becks

When my mum made me some she had to overlock the outside or the "square" and then just sewed them into a trifold so I had 3 layers.

As for the stuff you want to use - i'm sorry I have no idea.

We've just received our new medium fuzzis. They seem really good but the mf insert isn't absorbant enough unless I change Liam's nappy every hour or so . So I was thinking of getting my sister to "make" some hemp french terry inserts. I see Greenbeans sells this by the metre & I'm guessing you'd get quite a few inserts from a metre of fabric.

So do you think you'd need an overlocker to sew along the edges of the insert?? Or would a basic sewing machine's zigzag stitch be sufficient? Anyone know how much this stuff is likely to fray?

Stacey this might be one for you (or anyone else who's made their own).

TIA.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 15:54:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17044&PID=378283&title=diy-inserts#378283
