I sew'd through the inner layer and then tried to keep the layers lined up and it was such a pita. Thanks for the advice!

It takes some practice, but I just go slowly through the serger, keeping the layers lined up and the elastic stretched out as I go.

There's a picture of the "blind method" for adding elastic in another tutorial. You tack the elastic down between layers and then pull it and feel your way along until you get to the end, and then tack it down again. When you serge, you'll have to stretch it out again.

The first 2 I made I forgot to add elastic, but then I realized i have no idea how I would've put the elastic in using a serger. Do you add the elastic w/ the serger or do you put it on just one or two layers? If you put it on one or two layers, how do you go about running the diaper through the serger and keep it lined up properly? I tried one with the elastic in the inner layer then sandwiched and serged and I had an awful time keeping the diaper lined up. Thanks for any advice!
