Questions about Zippers by the Yard
I know a lot of people use these and I'd like some information about them...where do you buy them...and the pulls to go with them...do you buy assorted colors or neutral colors...the cheapest place to buy them, etc.
I read the post by Grandma Mary where she made the sets of "Little Duffles" and thought they we we so cute but also thought it would be costly to buy three zippers for each set when you are cutting g zippers down to size for them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sullivan's makes them, in addition to the other zipper manufacturers. THey normally come with a dozen pulls. You cut the tape to whatever size you need and add the pull. You can buy more pulls if needed.

Google ''zippers''and the links are endless. I needed a 28 inch HD metal toothed zipper for my nephews Carhart and I found every thing but what I needed -my son finally found one on a military site. The HD metal zips stop at 24 inches in all the fabric store sites.
