Using a wide zig-zag stitch, stitch with half the "zig" on the fabric and half of it just off the edge. It's not as tidy looking as a serged edge, but it does the trick. Snappi diaper fasteners are easy ways to close cloth diapers shut without using pins. They have little "hooks" that grab the fabric, and they don't grab well on all fabrics. Fabrics Snappis work well with are: birdseye, french terry, stretch terry, and regular loop terry. They will grab onto jersey knit fabric (t-shirt material) but can tear holes over time. They will NOT grab onto flannel. You can see Snappis here if you aren't familiar with them, most diaper stores carry them: http://www.snappibaby.com/ If you don’t have a serger, you can use your sewing machine to lock the raw edges of the fabric together.
