my elastic casing is rolling

so... my diapers are looking better these days but i'm still just not happy with my casings. Mostly the leg casings, the back elastic seems to be a little better. First off my casings don't quite gather as nicely as the WAHM diapers that i have... i'm wondering if maybe i need to work of just making the casings more narrow... another thing is that after a few washes the casings roll a little...like, the outer print rolls a little to the inside of the diaper and then i can also feel the elastic right up against the fabric whereas my WAHM diapers i really can't feel the elastic in there.... i've tried trimming less and i've tried trimming more of the seam allowance and can't quite get it the way i want it... any suggestions??
