Examples

“Today's options are much more comfortable to wear⟳ and touch⟳. Cloth diaper covers can be polyurethane laminate (PUL) over cotton or polyester, nylon, wool or fleece.”

“PUL is waterproof and yet can withstand⟳ the heat of the dryer, wool is breathable yet fairly waterproof and antimicrobial, hemp and bamboo are absorbent and have⟳ some antimicrobial properties.”

“PUL is a slippery material and is not very easy to sew. Using a dual feed⟳ will simplify⟳ the sewing process⟳. You can also use⟳ a Teflon presser foot, which reduces the slippery aspect. Alternatively, place⟳ a sheet of tracing paper between the PUL and the presser foot.”
