I also use the stretch zigzag on my covers and the elastic is nice and bunchy when I let go. It is the zig zag stitch that looks like its cut through in places...BBH's use them on their nappies if you have a look. I dont think I could just anchor down my elastic on the ends..id be to scared that the elastic would fray after awhile and click out of the sticth so to speak.
Tegan I take my hat of to you for trying matie...Nappies blog my mind to much and run away and hide..hench me going to the sewing day to find out a little about them. Let us know how you go..IM interested to know.

Sarah - depends what nappies you use to bulkiness but yes I agree they are bulky.
