I am a part of the co-op that and it will be my first time ordering from a co-op. I was referred there from a well-known person who helps people decide what fabrics and how to make cloth diapers. The co-op is doing bamboo velour, bamboo terry, bamboo fleece & bamboo french terry. The velour and terry does have 2% of poly in it...it also has 70/28 bamboo & organic cotton... The fleece is 70/30 bamboo/organic cotton. They are all under $9/yard... Is this good? Or should it be just cotton velour or cotton fleece? Thank you for your time! :0) Yvonne Hello Amy,

Be sure to research any group well before placing an order as there are scammers out there. Honestly, I don't think it's necessary to use organic velour for wipes, regular cotton velour like you can find at your local fabric shop is just as nice for wipes. :) Flannel and cotton fleece - like sweatshirts are made of - would be fantastic! I'd put the fuzzy side of the fleece on the outside. Cotton terry is super too - it's the same as fleece except the loops haven't been cut and combed. Have fun making your wipes! ~Amy Sue Yvonne,

I have a serger, just not real comfortable with it, (At least not where you will see my stitches.) so I decided to turn and top stitch. (If I can make diapers, I can do these.) I already preshrunk and cut out my 8 x 8 flannel, but my question is will the fabric shift while in the wash or stay nice and flat? thank you for the instructions, I was trying to decided if I needed double layer of my flannel and how I was going to work my edges.

The directions were easy to follow and in three evening I had made three dozen. I used flannel on one side and terry cloth on the other. Some were just flannel and some were just terry cloth. Very easy. Fun to make and gave me a chance to pray for my future grandson while I was working on the project. My daughter-in-law sent me to your site.
