Where in the world should I be looking for Canvas Cloth leaders? I want to find ones that have measuring increments marked. Also looking for Zippers? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Anne

Anne, I'm not sure if these would be right for what you want but Gammill Quilting Co. sells zippered canvas leaders for their longarm machines.

What length and type of zipper are you looking for? I have a friend with some that she is looking to sell. I know the ones she has are mostly the longer nylon coil ones.

Nancy's Notions has it for $15.95 a yard. It has the dirctions right on the fabric along with all the markings. I bought 3 yds of it. got it hemmed & put it on one of my poles today. Don't have the other 2 poles ready yet. I am using the double faced tape to put it on.

I want to use them on the leaders, and think I want 120" nylon, separating zipper. Would really like to have at least 2 maybe 3. Thanks for you information!!

Mine are for the HQ and I love the markings on them. They are made out of really good quality canvas. I dont' know about zippers.

Check out www.nancysnotions.com. It is sold as yardage-what ever you need. I bought this item, but have not used it yet :(, but I love to visit the web site often.
